So, I had three bananas that were black and about 3/4 of a carton of strawberries left that were loosing their texture fast. I knew I wanted to use the bananas to make a banana bread but I also didn’t want to waste the berries. I did a little research and found a recipe that I modified slightly and oh m’gosh is it tasty! It is a keeper and will be added to the “special recipe book” that I keep.
Strawberry Banana Bread
3/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup Crisco
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup mashed bananas
1 cup mashed strawberries
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups plain flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
Cream sugar, Crisco and eggs together. Add vanilla, strawberries and bananas and mix well.
In separate bowl, combine dry ingredients.
Add dry ingredients to fruit mixture and mix well.
Bake in a greased loaf pan in a preheated 350 degree oven for approximately 1 hour.
