Strawberry-Banana Bread
Living in FL we have an amazing growing season because the sun is usually shining. Beginning of March while much of the rest of the nation is still freezing, we're rolling out the Strawberry Festival in Plant City which is attended by people from around the world. You can find more information on that here
With an abundance of strawberries at my fingertips, I am always finding fun ways to play with them. Here I decided to take an old favorite, banana bread and sweeten it up. Strawberry Banana is all the rage so why not mix them in a bread.
Keep in mind, this recipe can be used with whatever berries you'd like. Blackberry, raspberry, blueberry any of them will work in this. Mix them up and play with it.
