Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Sugar
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cups Ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 cups Fresh strawberries, chopped
• 0.25 cups Milk

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and melted butter. Beat until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Mix in the mashed bananas until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
