Butter: Allow to soften on the counter or soften in microwave about 10 seconds. Granulated sugar: Adds sweetness Eggs: beaten Bananas: Use very ripe and mashed with a fork or mixer Flour: Gives structure to the bread. Baking soda: Leavening agent that causes the bread to rise. Salt: Just a pinch Fresh strawberries: Chopped & tossed in flour How to Make Baked Bread Prep: Preheat oven to 375F degrees. Spray two 9×5 loaf pan with nonstick spray. Set aside. Large bowl: In a large bowl, using a KitchenAid Stand Mixer with paddle attachment cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Small bowl: In a small bowl, beat eggs using a fork. Add eggs to sugar mixture and beat until combined. Add mashed bananas and mix until combined. Sift dry ingredients: Sift all dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add sifted dry ingredients to banana mixture and mix until flour is just combined. DO NOT OVER MIX! Fold in floured covered strawberries. Bake: Pour batter into prepared loaf pans and bake at 375F for 15 minutes. REDUCE heat to 350F and bake for an additional 30 minutes until edges are slightly brown or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Let cool completely before removing from loaf pans. Variations and Substitutions Butter: Salted butter will also work for this. Just leave out the pinch of salt. Sugar: If you love a little more sweetness, substitute white sugar for brown sugar or going healthier try coconut sugar. Bananas: Use frozen bananas by thawing them overnight at room temperature. If there is any liquid from the bananas, simply discard that before mashing in the recipe. Chocolate chips: Who can resist chocolate! Chocolate chips can be sprinkled on top, in the batter or both! Nuts or seeds: I do love walnuts but pecans, sunflower seeds or pecans also make for an added soft crunch. Fresh Local fruit: Use whatever you find that looks amazing at your local farmers market.  Try cranberries, blueberries or raspberries change this banana bread into something fresh and fruity!
