Banana and strawberry bread

Fruity banana bread is made extra sweet and delicious with the addition of strawberries in this lovely easy recipe for banana and strawberry bread.

Just as I get around to posting all my late summer recipes the weather has finally turned. I think it has rained all day so far today, the windows in our Victorian house are all steamed up when I wake up and the kids are complaining of cold feet in the mornings (although this could just be one of many excuses concocted to try to avoid school!).

Still, should you be like me and have a freezer full of frozen fruit, this is the recipe for you. Our freezer broke down last week so I had to come up with some rapid recipe ideas to use up some of the random things that were stored in it. This recipe for banana and strawberry bread was one of them. Enjoy!
