Strawberry Banana Bread

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Leave a few small chunks for texture, if desired.

Add the sugar, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Gently fold in the chopped strawberries into the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
