WHOLE WHEAT BANANA BREAD
I actually abandoned my "family" banana bread in favor of this one... It's more a like a cake than a bread. I have increased the bananas from the original recipe, and I prefer to omit the nuts. I like mine warm with butter on top. Yummy!

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
- Mash the bananas well. This will help to ensure that they are evenly distributed throughout the bread.
- Use fresh strawberries. Fresh strawberries will give your bread the best flavor.
- Chop the strawberries into small pieces. This will help to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the bread.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread tough.
- Bake the bread at the correct temperature. If the oven is too hot, the bread will brown too quickly and may be undercooked in the center. If the oven is too cool, the bread will take too long to bake and may be dry.
- Let the bread cool completely before cutting it. This will help to prevent it from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Whole wheat banana strawberry loaf is a delicious and nutritious snack or breakfast option. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. This bread is a good source of fiber, potassium, and vitamin C. It is also a good way to use up ripe bananas and strawberries.
