One Bowl Banana and Strawberry Bread

Our entire household is loving in season strawberries and bananas at the moment (eating more than a kilogram of each a week!) so it only made sense to combine the two into this yummy one bowl Banana and Strawberry Bread!

The idea for this recipe was inspired by my Banana and Strawberry Cake and Easy Banana Bread recipes, and also as a way to use up a couple of bananas and some strawberries which were starting to soften and were now being ignored by the boys.

The three of us (messily) put this recipe together as thanks to containing no hot ingredients and only needing one bowl (or a thermomix) it’s really child friendly.  When it comes to adding the strawberries you can use as many or little as you like, since first making this recipe we’ve also used up to 250g of strawberries which made this one bowl Banana and Strawberry Loaf super moist.

Both of the boys love this ‘strawberry cake’ and I’ve been popping half a slice into Mr 4’s kindy lunch box for a treat each day.  This recipe is also freezer friendly and I’ve already popped a few slices into the freezer for easy lunch box treats for when our mornings become a whole lot busier when baby #3 arrives.
