  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf (approximately 10 slices)

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 medium-large banana, mashed well
  • 3-oz box of strawberry Jell-O mix
  • 1/2 lb strawberries, stems removed and chopped

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the banana bread after baking.
  2. Mash the Banana: In a small bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth and mostly free of lumps, setting it aside for later mixing.
  3. Puree Strawberries: Using a food processor or blender, combine the chopped strawberries and the strawberry Jell-O mix. Puree the mixture until completely smooth, then pour it into the bowl with the mashed banana, stirring gently to combine the two fruit mixtures.
  4. Cream Butter and Sugar: In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and white sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which creates a good texture for the bread.
  5. Add Eggs and Sour Cream: Beat in the eggs and sour cream to the creamed butter and sugar mixture until all ingredients are well combined and the batter appears smooth.
  6. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda to evenly distribute the leavening agents and salt.
  7. Combine Fruit Mixture: Add the strawberry and banana puree mixture to the stand mixer bowl with the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed to incorporate without overmixing.
  8. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients while keeping the mixer on low speed. Mix just until the flour is incorporated to avoid tough bread.
  9. Bake the Bread: Pour the completed batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Ensure bananas are ripe for the best sweetness and flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added; this helps keep the bread tender.
  • Use fresh strawberries for best flavor, but frozen can also work if thawed and drained.
  • Check for doneness starting at 55 minutes to avoid overbaking.
