Healthy Strawberry Banana Bread Recipe

Is there anything better than a piece of delicious and healthy banana bread? We love it here and even have some variations. We’ve had raspberry banana bread, zucchini banana bread, and even a banana bread mug cake.

With strawberry season in full swing, adding fresh strawberries to banana bread HAD to happen next!

Tender on the outside, moist on the inside, each slice of this healthy strawberry banana bread is perfect. Loaded with strawberries and chocolate chips, I DARE you to find an excuse not to make it.

Unlike traditional banana bread, my version is secretly healthy and completely grain free (thanks to the use of almond flour!).

It’s also made without eggs (eggless!) which means it is also gluten-free and vegan. Naturally sweetened with banana and monk fruit sweetener, it’s also paleo and low carb… but you’d never tell!

I promise you, even my skeptical friends couldn’t tell this banana bread with strawberries is healthy! 

How to make healthy strawberry banana bread

Step 1- Prepare your flax egg

This recipe is 100% eggless, and instead, uses a flax egg to replace it. Prepare the flax eggs by combining 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed with 6 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for 10 minutes, until a gel forms. 

Step 2- Preheat the oven and prepare the loaf pan

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a loaf pan with either parchment paper or tin foil for easy removal. 

Step 3- Prepare the ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine your dry ingredients and mix well. In a seperate small bowl, add your bananas, prepared flax eggs, coconut oil (ensure it is melted!) and vanilla extract. Combine your wet and dry ingredients and mix well. 

Using a rubber spatula, fold through half your strawberries and chocolate chips and mix until combined.

Step 4- Transfer the batter into the pan

Pour the strawberry banana bread batter into the lined pan. Top with the remaining strawberries and chocolate chips. 

Step 5- Bake the strawberry banana bread

Bake the strawberry banana bread for 45-55 minutes, until a toothpick comes out the center clean. This banana strawberry bread is eggless, so if it is a tiny bit under-baked, it just means your bread will be super moist.

Step 6- Cool and Slice

Cool the banana and strawberry bread in the pan. Once cool, slice and enjoy! 

Strawberry Banana Bread Recipe with Frozen Strawberries

For those who don’t have access to affordable fresh strawberries, this banana bread works beautifully with frozen strawberries too!

To use frozen strawberries, thaw them out completely, until room temperature. Once at room temperature, use a paper towel to remove any excess liquid. 

Banana Bread with freeze-dried strawberries

Another option instead of fresh strawberries is using freeze-dried strawberries.

Freeze-dried strawberries are extremely sweet, crisp and bake beautifully into the banana bread. Simply fold in 1/2-1 cup of freeze dried strawberries into the batter.

Avoid topping the banana strawberry bread with it, as it will burn easily.
