Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour (300 grams)
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled, 56.5 grams)
  • 3/4 cup sugar (148.5 grams)
  • 3/4 cup yogurt (170.25 grams)
  • 2 eggs (beaten)
  • 3 very ripe bananas (mashed well)
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruit

  • 1 cup fresh diced strawberries (136.1 grams)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9 by 5 inch bread pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and seasonings.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the melted and cooled butter with sugar until combined. Then add the yogurt, beaten eggs, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract, whisking together until smooth and well mixed.
  4. Fold Dry into Wet: Gently fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined to avoid over mixing, which can toughen the bread.
  5. Add Strawberries: Carefully stir in the fresh diced strawberries, noting that the batter will be very thick at this stage.
  6. Pour and Bake: Pour the thick batter evenly into the prepared bread pan and bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.
  7. Cool: Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Then remove the bread from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely for about an hour before slicing.
  8. Storage: Due to the fresh strawberries, store the bread in an airtight container and consume within two to three days to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Note 1: Using ripe bananas and yogurt contributes moisture and tanginess to the bread.
  • Note 3: Make sure bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • Note 4: A 9 by 5 inch bread pan is the ideal size for this recipe to ensure even baking.
  • Because of the fresh strawberries, this bread has a shorter shelf life than traditional banana bread.
