Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas (about 3 medium-sized)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups brown sugar
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 2 pieces eggs, beaten
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, beaten eggs, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt to the mashed bananas. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped strawberries carefully to avoid crushing them.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
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.
Slice and serve your Banana and Strawberry Bread. Store leftovers at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
