Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup avocado oil
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups bananas, mashed
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups strawberries, chopped and dried, plus more, to taste, freshly sliced, for topping and garnish
Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2 -Coat a 9x5-inch loaf pan with a nonstick cooking spray.
Step 3 -In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, the baking soda, the salt, and the cinnamon.
Step 4 -In a large mixing bowl, add the oil, the coconut sugar, the eggs, the bananas, the Greek yogurt, and the vanilla and whisk together until combined.
Step 5 -Add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredient mixture and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6 -Gently fold 1 1/2 cups of the chopped strawberries into the batter.
Step 7 -Pour the batter in the prepared loaf pan and top with the extra strawberry slices.
Step 8 -Bake the bread until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour-1 hour 15 minutes. Around the 45-minute mark, cover the bread with tin foil to avoid over-browning.
Step 9 -Transfer the bread to a wire rack and let it cool in the pan, about 10 minutes.
Step 10 -Invert the bread onto a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Step 11 -Slice and serve the bread garnished with the extra strawberry slices.
