I had a few leftover strawberries, bananas and blueberries and was trying to figure out what to make with these. I could have made a healthy fruit smoothie but nah…not that a smoothie isn’t delicious BUT I just love to bake. So what’s better than a delicious fruit bread with a few pecans thrown in too 😋

Strawberry-Banana Bread w/Blueberries

Ingredients

3 ripe bananas, smashed

⅓ cup butter melted

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon honey

1 teaspoon baking soda

Pinch of salt

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon lime or lemon juice (I used lime)

½ cup strawberries, chopped

½ cup blueberries

1 1/2 cups chopped pecans

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, mix mashed bananas and melted butter, using a wooden fork or spoon. Mix in the sugar, egg, and honey.

Add the baking soda and salt into the mixture and mix.

Add the flour, mix just enough to blend the ingredients.

Add lime (or lemon) juice, chopped strawberries and whole blueberries to the batter and mix them in to distribute evenly through the batter. Mix in the chopped pecans.

Butter a traditional sized loaf pan. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper, butter the parchment paper too! Pour the batter into the pan.

Bake for 1 hour (test with a toothpick for doneness – if not? Cook a few minutes longer)
