Ingredients

• 3 pieces Ripe bananas
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 75 grams Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 pieces Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 250 grams Fresh strawberries, trimmed and halved
• 50 grams Granulated sugar (for compote)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar and melted butter to the mashed bananas and mix until combined.

Step 4

Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon, being careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

While the banana bread is baking, prepare the strawberry compote. In a medium saucepan, combine the halved strawberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water.

Step 10

Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly, about 10-12 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the compote from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 12

Slice the banana bread and serve it warm or at room temperature, topped with a spoonful of the strawberry compote.
