Nuts or no nuts. The choice is yours!

If you’re not a fan of almonds (or nuts in general), you are by all means welcome to leave them out of this recipe entirely.

I promise I won’t tell, and you’ll still enjoy the flavor of this deliciously easy bread.

However, you’re a fan of nuts, then by all means…add them. The texture and crunch they provide are a nice contrast to this super moist bread.

You’ll also notice that I’ve used almond extract in this recipe. If you’ve decided to make this Strawberry Banana Bread without the nuts, please feel free to substitute vanilla extract in place of the almond extract.

How this recipe came to be:

The produce department in the springtime gets me so excited!! I go crazy seeing all the seasonally plump and colorful fruits and berries, that it sets my mind to racing when I think of all the different ways I can use them in my cooking and baking.

I made this Strawberry Banana Bread for my mom this past weekend. She came over for dinner, and we played a few games of cards (Russian Rummy, to be exact) beforehand.

Since my mom is also a huge strawberry lover, I knew she would enjoy the flavor of this bread. I served each slice with a scoop of strawberry ice cream (not shown) making this delightfully easy quick bread that much more special! 

Why this quick fruit bread recipe works:

I consider this type of easy recipe a “dump recipe.” The reason is that all of the ingredients are dumped into a single bowl and then mixed.

There are no difficult or confusing steps, and the cleanup is a breeze.

You don’t need to be a skilled baker to have success with a dump recipe, and the outcome is always a winner.

I urge you, if you’ve been afraid of baking in the past, please try this recipe. I promise you’ll be delighted with the results!

Can this strawberry banana bread be frozen after baking?

Yes!

Wrap it well in plastic wrap (slices or an entire loaf) and keep it in the freezer for up to three months.
