Notes
- Sifting the dry ingredients breaks big lumps, makes mixing the banana bread with strawberries easier, and gives a consistent batter.
- Toss your diced strawberries in a little bit of flour before you fold them into the batter so they don’t sink to the bottom of the strawberry loaf cake.
- Don’t overmix the batter in this strawberry banana bread recipe, or you’ll have a dense loaf.
- My strawberry banana bread was baked in about an hour. When a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, that’s when yours is done.
- If you notice the top of the bread browning too much, loosely cover it with aluminum foil.
