Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  3. Mash 2-3 ripe bananas in a bowl, then mix in 2 eggs, ½ cup sour cream, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and ½ cup softened butter until combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup brown sugar, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in 1 cup of diced fresh strawberries into the batter carefully.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, checking for doneness at 60 minutes.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
