To begin making this Strawberry Banana Loaf I mashed up some strawberries and some banana.

Then I dumped some granulated sugar and margarine into a large mixing bowl.

I used an electric hand mixer to blend together the sugar and margarine.

Next I added 2 large eggs, some vanilla and the mashed strawberries to the bowl.

Then I used the electric hand mixer again to blend the ingredients until they were light and fluffy.

When the batter was light and fluffy I added in some Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Baking Flour that I had sifted and spooned into the measuring cup.  This was to make sure I did not use too much flour.

I also added in the mashed banana, baking powder, baking soda and salt. 

Then I blended in the flour and other ingredients with a large rubber spatula just until everything was incorporated into the batter.

Next I greased and floured a 6 cup Instant Pot bundt pan.

Then I scraped all of the batter into the bundt pan.

Before putting it into the Instant Pot I covered it with tinfoil that I had sprayed with cooking spray.

Then I poured 1 1/2 cups of water into the Instant Pot and placed my trivet inside the pot.  I carefully lowered the bundt pan on top of the trivet.

Then I placed the lid on the Instant Pot, turned the steam release handle to the sealing position and set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook High for 50 minutes.

Once the Instant Pot was done cooking, I allowed it to do a Natural Release for 15 minutes before turning the steam release handle to the venting position.  

Once the pressure was released I removed the lid and lifted out the bundt pan.  I immediatlely removed the tinfoil.

I allowed the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.

At this point you could allow it to cool for a while and then slice and serve   OR….

You could make a delicious chocolate strawberry glaze to spoon over the top of your Instant Pot Strawberry Banana Loaf!

To make this quick and easy glaze I melted some chocolate chips and a bit of margarine for about 30 seconds in the microwave.

Then I added in some mashed strawberries.

Next I stirred in some icing sugar.

I finished the glaze by stirring in a bit of almond milk.

Once all the ingredients were blendied I spooned it over the top of the cooled Strawberry Banana Loaf and let it run down the side.  There will still be quite a bit of sauce left after you do this.

The glaze will stiffen up almost like donut glaze.

Whether or not you wait for it to set before serving, Strawberry Banana Loaf is a moist and flavourful loaf that will add beauty to any food table.

Soften the left over glaze in the microwave and drizzle it over each piece of Instant Pot Strawberry Banana Loaf as you serve it if desired.
