Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour (or all-purpose flour)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ cup avocado oil
- ¾ cup coconut sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups mashed banana (about 3 medium bananas)
- ⅓ cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 ½ cups chopped strawberries (pat dry with a paper towel)
- A few extra strawberry slices for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly coat a loaf pan with cooking spray.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a larger bowl, combine the avocado oil, coconut sugar, eggs, mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Be careful not to overmix—some streaks of flour are okay.
- Gently fold in the chopped strawberries until just incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Arrange the sliced strawberries on top for a beautiful finish.
- Bake for 60-75 minutes, covering the bread with foil around the 45-minute mark to prevent over-browning. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
For variations, consider replacing eggs with flaxseed eggs for a vegan option or swapping flours for gluten-free options.
