Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 pieces ripe bananas Make sure they’re nice and mushy!
  • 1 cup strawberries, chopped Fresh is best, but frozen can be used.
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil This adds a lovely richness.
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup Sweeten it to your preference!
  • 2 large eggs These help bind the mixture.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract The aroma is heavenly!
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda For that perfect rise.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt A must for flavor balance.
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour The foundation of our bread.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add melted coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir well until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Ensure you don’t overmix—little lumps are okay!
  6. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries without smashing them.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-55 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  2. Let the bread cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For storage, keep the bread in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. It can also be frozen for up to three months. Reheat by toasting or microwaving briefly.
