Equipment

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 cup mashed banana about 3 medium bananas
  • cup plain full fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups chopped strawberries dried with paper towel, plus a few more sliced strawberries for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Combine the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Add oil, coconut sugar, eggs, bananas, Greek yogurt and vanilla to a large mixing bowl and whisk together until combined.
  • Add flour mixture to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Don’t over-mix. It's okay if there are a few streaks of flour left.
  • Gently fold in chopped strawberries.
  • Spoon batter into a loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Top with strawberry slices.
  • Bake for 60-75 minutes or until a wooden tooth pick inserted in center comes out clean. Around the 45 minute mark I recommend covering the bread with tin foil so it doesn’t get too brown.
  • Once done cooking, remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes in pan then remove from pan and let cool completely on a wire rack.

Notes

  • Whole wheat pastry flour: If you can’t find whole wheat pastry flour you can also use white whole wheat flour, a blend of all-purpose and regular whole wheat flour or just regular all-purpose flour.
  • Eggs: I haven’t tried using a flaxseed egg but that should work as a replacement.
  • Avocado oil: Another neutral oil like olive oil, canola oil or vegetable oil will work as a substitute. Butter will also work. 
  • Greek yogurt: If you need this recipe to be dairy-free I bet using a dairy-free yogurt would work just fine.
  • Coconut sugar: If you don’t have coconut sugar on hand, brown sugar or white sugar will work as well.
