Strawberry Banana Bread

December 5, 2012 by Tanya

strawberry banana bread

Have you ever had one of those days when you just feel grumpy? Well, that was me on Monday. Grumpy for no reason. I was suppose to write my post for this yummy strawberry banana bread, but I didn’t—couldn’t—do it. Too grumpy.

I simmered and baked in my grumpiness all day. And that’s fine. One day of grumpiness is acceptable. But two days would be pushing it. Thankfully, I woke up on Tuesday with a smile, and the energy to get things done, including writing this post!

This year I’m not whipping up a ton of holiday treats. Instead, I’m focusing on those savory and sweet additions to round out your holiday trays. I love, love this bread. It is unbelievably moist and flavorful. You might think winter is a poor time to share a recipe with strawberries. Normally, I’d agree, but not today!

Nope, this is the PERFECT time to make this bread. I never use the luscious (and expensive) strawberries from the farmer’s market in this recipe. The store-bought strawberries work beautifully. They bake into a sweet morsels that add a little oomph to the banana bread.

This bread is fairly sweet, but is still a nice change-up from your standard cookies, candies and caramels. Of course, I plan on eating my fair share of all those goodies too! 😀
