Optional Strawberry Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, adjusted as needed
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk, adjusted as needed

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper.

  • Step 2

    In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas. Stir in melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and milk.

  • Step 3

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

  • Step 4

    Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients in two additions, mixing until just combined—don’t overmix.

  • Step 5

    Gently fold in the 4 chopped strawberries.

  • Step 6

    In a small bowl, combine the crumble ingredients and use your fingers to work in the butter until the mixture is crumbly. Tip: Keep the crumble in the fridge until you're ready to use it.

  • Step 7

    Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Top with crumble and the extra chopped strawberries.

  • Step 8

    Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  • Step 9

    Let the bread cool for 10–15 minutes. Drizzle with strawberry glaze, if using.
