Ingredients
- 2 large ripe bananas (about 1 cup mashed), mashed until smooth
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, blended until smooth
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch round or square cake pan with parchment paper.
- Mash ripe bananas thoroughly in a large bowl until completely smooth.
- Stir in the blended strawberries until fully combined.
- Gradually fold in the sifted flour, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top evenly.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool in pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired, slice, and serve.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and smoother texture.
- If batter is too thin, add 1–2 tablespoons additional flour.
- Add 1 teaspoon baking powder for a lighter texture if desired.
- Store at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days.
- Freeze individual slices for up to 2 months.
