Fruit Fusion Bread

This recipe was really just an experiment that worked out really well! Don't ya just love it when that happens? I had a bunch of fruit and decided to make some bread out of it! If I had to do it all over again, I don't think I would change a thing! Yummy!!!!!!!!!


Fruit Fusion Bread

  • 3 large bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup strawberries, diced
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 3/4 cup flour + 1 tablespoon flour to dust the fruit
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest


Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Cream the sugar and butter in a stand mixer until smooth.


Add the mashed banana, applesauce and vanilla, stir to combine.



With the motor running, add the eggs one at a time.



Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt. Add to the banana mixture.


Cut up the fruit and stir in the lemon zest. Toss with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent the fruit from sinking to the bottom during baking.



Gently fold the fruit into the mix and then pour into a greased bread pan.


Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the top is golden brown.

Cool completely on a wire rack before removing from the pan.


Enjoy!!!
