Strawberry-Banana Bread




Source of Recipe


My version of a Food Network recipe


Recipe Introduction


This is just an easy cake mix fix-up, but it is very good. The strawberry and banana combination is wonderful. The recipe calls for 9x5-inch loaf pans. If you use those, these will be very squat loaves. I have one pan that is just slightly smaller than that and I really preferred the look of that loaf.


List of Ingredients




STRAWBERRY-BANANA BREAD:
Nonstick cooking spray
Parchment paper
15.25 oz. box strawberry cake mix
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup water
4 ripe bananas, mashed
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

STRAWBERRY GLAZE:
1 cup confectioner’s sugar
3 T. strawberry jam, preserves or jelly (may need to heat a bit)
3-4 T. warm water


Recipe



STRAWBERRY-BANANA BREAD:
Heat the oven to 350F. Spray two 9x5-inch loaf pans (or the slightly smaller, if you have them) with nonstick baking spray and line with parchment paper.

Combine the cake mix, oil, mashed bananas, eggs and water and mix with a hand mixer until fairly smooth – approximately 2 minutes. Fold in the white chocolate chips. Divide the batter between the pans and bake 40 – 50 minutes. Test with a toothpick – done temperature is 210 degrees.

Cool in pans for 10 minutes, turn out onto a rack and let cool completely before glazing.

STRAWBERRY GLAZE:
Mix the confectioner’s sugar, the strawberry preserves, jam or jelly and enough of the water to make a thick glaze. Spoon it over the loaves and let set for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Makes 2 loaves.
