Roasted Strawberry Banana Bread
Banana bread has always been one of my favourite quick breads. It’s a favorite of mine, and Madison loves it! This Roasted Strawberry Banana Bread is a delicious variation – perfect when strawberries are in season. Some other healthy banana bread recipes I love are this Blueberry Banana Bread and Banana Cranberry Bread.
Why Strawberries Should be Roasted
I had bananas that were starting to turn brown and wanted banana bread so I set about creating a quick bread recipe. This recipe was originally made with fresh strawberries. However, the strawberries released too many liquids during baking, making it a little too moist.
The best way to roast strawberries was to roast them. Roasting the strawberries makes the liquid dry out and the berries turn sweeter. This moist banana bread retains the strawberry flavor.
According to HealthlineStrawberry are a great source of vitamin C, manganese, and good amounts folate (vitamin A9) and potassium.
How to Store and Freeze Strawberry Banana Bread
The strawberry banana bread can be kept in an airtight container for up to one day. It will last up until 7 days in the fridge.
Banana bread can be frozen up to 3 months. Cut the bread once it is cooled. Wrap each piece in foil or plastic wrap, then seal the bag with a ziplock. The slices can be thawed in the microwave or in the refrigerator for between 30 to 45 seconds.
