This Strawberry Banana Bread is bursting with fresh flavor. Fresh bananas and strawberries flavor this delicious quick bread recipe. This recipe is a must-make for spring and summer.
Spray bottom of 9×5-inch loaf pan with a non-stick cooking spray. Cut a piece of parchment paper the width of the pan and large enough to extend over the short ends of the pan by 4-inches on each end. (This parchment paper will help to lift the loaf out of the pan after it is baked.) Place the paper in the pan.
In a large bowl, mix together egg, sugar, oil, sour cream, and banana extract.
Add mashed banana and mix well. Set aside.
In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients together.
In a large mixing bowl, use your electric mixer to combine the cream cheese and sugar until creamy. Add two tablespoons of the flour and mix until smooth.
Add the remaining one tablespoon of flour to the strawberries and fold the strawberries into the cream cheese mixture.
Pour half of the bread batter into the prepared pan.
Spread the cream cheese mixture on top of the batter. Top with the remaining bread batter. Even out gently.
Bake for about 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove pan to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely.
