Strawberry and banana is such a tasty combination. The addition of sour cream makes the banana bread more moist and adds something special to the flavor. You can also add 1/2 cup of your favorite nuts if you like.

Strawberry-banana was one of my favorite combos for a fruit smoothie but as a bread, it’s nearly irresistible. Thanks for sending this!

I’ve never thought of adding any other fruit to banana bread! What a unique blog. Can’t wait to try some of these recipes.

I’ve never thought of this. It sounds wonderful so I’ll have to make it. Actually I’ve been looking for a new recipe to serve to my Food Testers and this looks like it will be perfect. I hope you don’t mind but I’ll be making it following your recipe and also with a change to simplify it by using a banana bread mix. My testers will compare the 2 without knowing which is which. Hope that’s ok with you.
Again, Thanks
Martha

very good recipe,but once cooled if you wrap the loaf in plastic wrap and let it ripen for a couple of days the flavor will be fantastic.

Some time ago, I needed to buy a building for my firm but I didn’t have enough cash and couldn’t purchase something. Thank heaven my mother proposed to try to take the loan from trustworthy creditors. Hence, I acted that and was happy with my consolidation loan.
