Ingredients
  

Bread Batter
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 0.75 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 egg large
  • 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups fresh strawberries diced
Pink Glaze
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream or milk
  • 1 tbsp strawberry jam optional for color/flavor

Equipment

  • 9x5 Loaf Pan
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Reserve 1 tbsp of this mixture to toss with strawberries.
  3. In a large bowl, mix melted butter and brown sugar. Beat in the egg, mashed bananas, and vanilla.
  4. Stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined. Toss diced strawberries in reserved flour, then gently fold into batter.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 55-65 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Whisk glaze ingredients together until smooth. Drizzle over cooled bread before serving.

Notes

Ensure bread is fully cooled before glazing to prevent melting.
