Making this Strawberry Banana Bread is as easy as pie—actually, it’s much easier! Follow these steps for a loaf that will have your family coming back for seconds.

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Mix in the mashed bananas until well combined.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, or your bread might turn out dense.
7. Gently fold in the diced strawberries and walnuts.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
9. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Personal tip: For a golden crust, sprinkle a little sugar on top of the batter before baking. It adds a delightful crunch!
