  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup sugar Adjust according to sweetness preference.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Ensure it's fresh for best results.

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour May substitute with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas with the melted butter. Mix well until combined.
  4. Add the beaten egg and vanilla extract, and stir until smooth.
  5. Pour in the sugar and mix until evenly distributed.
  6. In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  7. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently to combine. Be careful not to overmix.
  8. Gently fold the chopped strawberries into the batter.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  2. Bake for about 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick entered into the center comes out clean.
  3. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best flavor, allow your bread to cool before slicing. Store wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
