Add a burst of fresh berry flavor to your traditional loaf of banana bread. Each tender bite is filled with sweet banana flavor and a boost from our French Vanilla Amazing Creamer. For the best-tasting loaf, be sure to choose strawberries with a deep red hue and overripe bananas that are beginning to turn brown.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 40 minutes
Yield: Serves 8
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus 1/2 tablespoon, divided
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon finely ground sea salt
1/4 cup French Vanilla Amazing Creamer
1 cup chopped strawberries
2 large overripe bananas
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/3 cup neutral oil of choice, or melted butter
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8.5x4.5” loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk 1 1/2 cups of flour with the baking soda, salt, and Amazing Creamer until well combined then set aside.
- Place the strawberries into a small bowl and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of flour. Gently toss to coat. This will prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf.
- Peel the bananas and break them into pieces. Place the chunks into a medium bowl and mash until no large chunks remain. Then, stir in the sugar.
- Whisk in the eggs, yogurt, and oil until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry flour mixture. Stir until no lumps remain then, fold in the strawberries until just combined.
- Scrape the mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 40-50 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few crumbs. Allow the loaf to cool for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling for at least 1 hour before slicing. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days for the best taste.
