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 egg
- 1 ½ cup banana about 3 medium bananas, mashed
- ⅓ cup Greek yogurt plain, full fat
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups strawberries dried with paper towel, plus a few more sliced strawberries for topping, chopped
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
- If whole wheat pastry flour is unavailable, white whole wheat, all-purpose flour, or a blend of all-purpose and regular whole wheat flour can be used as substitutes.
- Flaxseed eggs might work as a replacement for the large eggs if needed.
- Neutral oils like olive, canola, or vegetable oil can substitute avocado oil; butter also works.
- For dairy-free versions, use a non-dairy yogurt alternative instead of Greek yogurt.
- Coconut sugar can be replaced with brown or white sugar if needed without significantly affecting the recipe.
