Best banana bread
This banana bread recipe is actually delicious with any kind of berry! Remember each oven is different, so make sure and under-set your timer, so you don’t over-bake the bread! You can fill 1 large loaf pan, or make two smaller loaves.
Is there a difference between banana bread and banana cake?
There is a difference between banana cake and banana bread. A traditional banana cake is made like a butter cake with the addition of mashed banana (and my recipe has buttermilk). Banana bread has a firmer more dense texture than banana cake and is great for popping a slice in the toaster.
Moist Strawberry Banana Bread
Banana bread, my favorite, and sweet strawberries? Perfection.
For breakfast add Storyville coffee, and a bowl of granola.
Extra tips for making strawberry banana bread
- You can use frozen strawberries if you don’t have fresh. Make sure to thaw and drain beforehand. Also, you will need to add 1-2 extra tablespoons of flour to the batter.
- Substitute the strawberries with blueberries or raspberries, or mixed berries. It’s delicious.
- The last 10 minutes of baking time, tent the loaf pan with foil. The tenting tip helps to prevent the top from burning while baking the bread through.
- If you love an almond flavor, replace the vanilla extract for almond extract. DELISH!
How long does strawberry banana bread keep?
Cool the bread and enjoy right away. If you need to store it, put in an airtight container and you can store it for around 4 days.
We love to freeze any leftover loaves (if there are any), by wrapping it tightly in foil, and then placing it in a freezer Ziplock bag.

April blossoms
Since it’s April, I can’t help but think about blossoms that are starting to bloom. Take a peek here at my old house, and the beautiful pink and white table that is perfect for spring.
