Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt until well combined. This ensures an even distribution of leavening and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the melted butter, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and fragrant.
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula, just until no dry flour remains. Do not overmix to keep the bread tender.
Carefully fold in the chopped strawberries, distributing them evenly throughout the batter. The batter will be thick but spreadable.
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with the back of a spatula for an even surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps set the crumb and makes slicing easier.
Slice once cooled, revealing a moist interior with colorful bits of strawberry and banana throughout.
Enjoy a slice on its own or with a spread of butter for a bright, fruity treat that captures the essence of summer.
