    Strawberry Banana Bread with Blueberries - the best strawberry banana bread ever! Moist, delicious, flavorful. Made even better with the addition of blueberries.

    Strawberry banana bread, with blueberries

    Whenever I make banana bread, it's usually because I have overly ripe bananas, and I don't want to waste them.

    This time around, I also had a package of fresh strawberries that were getting dangerously soft and a package of wrinkled fresh blueberries, so why not throw all of these ingredients together into one deliciously moist strawberry banana bread!

    And what a great and colorful strawberry banana bread it turned out to be! I also added a tablespoon of fresh lemon zest to the bread batter which gave the bread even more oomph! It's like the summer entered my house!

    Mixed berries, spiced up by the lemon zest in a loaf of banana bread - to me, it tastes like a summer berry cake. You can't really go wrong with a very moist banana bread stuffed with strawberries and blueberries.

    Ingredients

    • 3 ripe bananas , smashed
    • â…“ cup butter melted
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 1 egg
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • Pinch of salt
    • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (lemon zest from 1 whole lemon)
    • ½ cup strawberries chopped
    • ½ cup blueberries

    Instructions 

    • Preheat the oven to 350 F.
    • In a large bowl, mix mashed bananas and melted butter, using wooden fork or spoon. Mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in. Add the flour last, mix just enough to blend the ingredients; do not over-mix, the lumps will work themselves out.
    • Add lemon zest, chopped strawberries and whole blueberries to the batter and mix them in to distribute evenly through the batter.
    • Butter a 4×8 inch loaf pan. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper, butter the parchment paper too. Pour the batter in the pan. Bake for 1 hour. Cool on a rack. Remove from pan and slice to serve.
    • Note: lining the bottom of the pan with parchment paper ensures that the bottom of the bread will not get stuck.

      We made this recipes but doubled it and made it in a 9x13 inch pan and it was great. I think the lemon rind is a necessary addition and just the right amount and perhaps cinnamon will be added next time to add a bit more flavor

      I made this using ground sprouted rolled oats (for GF) and it turned out so yummy! Kids munched them up we call them breakfast cupcakes. Lol I would up the flour to closer to 2 cups though

      Sorry. Was very disappointed. Followed the recipe to the tee and after it cooled, the center was uncooked. Put back in for another 20 minutes, and was able to somewhat salvage the ends. It smelled so good baking. I started reading other recipes and it seems that 2 cups of flour should have been used. There wasn’t enough to keep it together.

      Awesome!!! My new favorite go to recipe. I did add an extra banana- I had 4 that I needed to use- but I tend to do this with every banana bread recipe to make it extra moist. Really the best recipe I have come across!!!
