Strawberry Banana Bread Ingredients
- Bananas: We use 3 overripe bananas to flavor and sweeten this delicious vegan strawberry banana bread.
- Flax Seed: This strawberry banana bread is egg-free. Instead of using eggs in this vegan strawberry banana bread recipe, we use flax seed meal (or ground flax seeds) mixed with warm water to make flax eggs. Flax seed is also healthy and full of fiber.
- Butter: To keep this recipe vegan and dairy-free, we use vegan butter. I used the brand Miyokos. If you are not vegan or dairy-free, feel free to use regular butter.
- Milk: To keep this recipe vegan and dairy-free, we use almond milk. Oat milk or any other plant-based milk will work. If you are not vegan or dairy-free, feel free to use regular milk.
- Maple Syrup: Used to sweeten our vegan strawberry banana bread.
- Baking Soda and Baking Powder: These ingredients help our banana bread rise and get golden and fluffy.
- Salt: For balancing sweetness.
- Vanilla: Vanilla extract is used to provide another layer of flavor.
- Flour: In this banana bread recipe, we use regular all-purpose flour. If you need to make gluten-free strawberry banana bread, feel free to use gluten-free flour. I used King Arthur Measure for Measure Gluten-Free Flour in my gluten-free strawberry banana bread.
- Strawberries: Fresh strawberries are essential for this strawberry banana bread recipe.
Strawberry Banana Bread Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375. Peel three overripe bananas and mash them until they are an applesauce texture.
Step 2: Prepare your flax eggs by mixing the flax seed meal and warm water together. Set the flax eggs aside until a thick gel forms.
Step 3: Add the wet ingredients, flax eggs, and the baking powder, baking soda, and salt to your bowl and mix. Then, add the flour and mix until a thick batter forms.
Step 4: Fold in the diced strawberries and then transfer the mixture into a greased metal loaf pan or a standard metal round pan. You may decorate the top of the strawberry banana bread with strawberries if you'd like.
Step 5: Bake until the strawberry banana bread is golden brown and completely risen in the center. While the banana bread is baking, you may use an electric hand mixer to mix the frosting together. Check the center with a toothpick for doneness. Option to drizzle icing over the top of the banana bread or serve unfrosted.
Serving Strawberry Banana Bread
Serve with or without frosting. If enjoying without frosting, I recommend serving this warm and spread each slice with a little vegan butter.
Storing Strawberry Banana Bread
I recommend storing this banana bread (unfrosted) wrapped in plastic on the counter top at room temperature. Refrigeration can dry out baked goods so I do not recommend this. If you have leftovers, I recommend freezing. You may reheat in the microwave.
