Another fresh strawberry inspired treat for you today!

Nick has had some kind of flu since last Wednesday, so everything in our house has been out of commission. No cooking, no cleaning (well, except my excessive lysoling), no blogging.

Just lots of movie watching and taking it easy. He’s finally mostly better and I’m finally catching up on all the chores I’d been putting off.

I made this banana bread last week before the flu rolled in and we basically housed it in 2 days, it was so good! It came out super moist and delicious.

Banana bread has always been a favorite. I seem to always have brown bananas on the counter, just asking for fruit flies, so banana bread is the perfect way to use them up.

With all the amazing fresh strawberries we’ve been getting, I thought it would be delicious to add some to a batch of banana bread. It definitely made my favorite comfort food much more summery!

I used some whole wheat flour in here, like I usually do, to make it just a tad healthier. I always like my banana bread to be more like breakfast than cake. But I did leave mostly all purpose flour in the recipe, because nice fluffy banana bread is the best!

      I modified this a bit. With all the bad press with wheat, I decided to use all of the all purpose flour. It looked a bit thick. So I added 1/4 cup of banana yogurt. My husband said that it is the best I have ever cooked in 10 years. Turned out amazing!

    We have been loving the strawberries this season..they have been so sweet! My kids inhale them…Sometimes I go to the grocery store 3 times a week just to pick up strawberries 🙂 Bread looks great and so moist…a definite must try (if our strawberries ever last long enough for me to back with them 🙂 )

    I don’t have whole wheat flour would substituting for regular flour be ok and not make a difference in how banana bread rises and bakes?

      You can definitely use regular, all-purpose flour!

    My family doesn’t eat wheat, so instead of all-purpose flour we used a gluten-free flour mix that was made of rice flour, can’t hum gum, etc.

    Turned out just fine with the gluten free option! This is a special treat since it has REAL sugar in it. (We try to stay away from sugars. We like the paleo diet.)

    Made this today – it’s delicious and so moist! I used 2 large bananas instead of 4 and added a splash of milk. Also, used regular flour and not the whole wheat. I baked it in 3 mini loaf pans so only took about 30 minutes. Would definitely bake this again! Thanks for the recipe!

    Hi Jess! I bake and sell banana bread. Is it ok if I bake and sell this one too? And if I reblog on my blog?
