Happy National California Strawberry Day! Woo hoo two of my favorite things Strawberries and California! Needless to say this banana bread fills that requirement! Bursting with strawberry and banana flavors! YUM!
I recently made pudding banana bread. Which was fab! But I won’t lie I love all kinds of banana bread.
Anyways, I had an idea to use strawberry pudding in place of banana pudding. The thing is I don’t think I saw strawberry pudding, I think I just saw strawberry jell-o and bought that.
I mixed everything as normal (thinking it was strawberry pudding) and baked it. As the bread was baking I had a thought. Wait, I don’t think that was pudding Elizabeth, I think it was jello and I was right. I checked the trash and that was definitely a jello box. Needless to say at this point I was a bit skeptical as to how the bread would turn out.
Well, it turned out great. Just what I had hoped for a strawberry tasting banana bread. This recipe is easy and quick like any other quick bread 
I hope you give this Strawberry Banana Bread a go!

Funny you used Jello! Hey, sometimes those mistakes turn out the best stuff! This looks delicious! Never thought of adding strawberries to banana bread, but how wonderful!
Bananas AND strawberries in moist, sweet bread…I’m so loving this! I’ve made the mistake with jello and pudding, too! You’re too funny! (=

Oh the strawberry banana bread sounds and looks so delicious!!
I bet the Jello made the bread burst with even more strawberry flavor. It’s nice when things turn out that we didn’t plan!
Have a great weekend Elizabeth!
