This moist and flavorful banana bread adds a delightful twist by incorporating fresh strawberries and strawberry Jell-O mix, creating a uniquely sweet and fruity loaf that’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon snack.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf (about 8 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

Fruit and Flavoring

  • 3-ounce box of strawberry Jell-O mix
  • 1/2 pound 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 Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mash Banana: In a small bowl, mash the banana until smooth to help integrate its flavor evenly into the batter.
  3. Puree Strawberries and Jell-O: Using a food processor or blender, combine the chopped strawberries with the strawberry Jell-O mix. Puree the mixture until it is smooth, then pour it into the mashed banana bowl and stir to combine well.
  4. Cream Butter and Sugar: In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and white sugar until light and fluffy, which helps create a tender texture in the bread.
  5. Add Eggs and Sour Cream: Beat in the eggs and sour cream to the creamed mixture until fully combined, giving the batter moisture and richness.
  6. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
  7. Combine Strawberry Mixture: Add the strawberry and banana puree into the stand mixer bowl and mix on low speed until incorporated.
  8. Add Dry Ingredients Gradually: With the mixer still on low, slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just enough to combine without overmixing, which helps keep the bread tender.
  9. Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overmix the batter once the flour is added to maintain a soft, tender bread texture.
  • Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs, it’s ready.
  • If fresh strawberries are out of season, frozen strawberries can be used but should be thawed and drained to avoid excess moisture.
  • This bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
