Strawberry Banana Bread

OMG! This recipe is sooo good. The bread is moist, sweet and flavorful and only 143 calories per slice. I got 13 slices from my loaf which gave me a calorie count of 124! I hope you enjoy this recipe.

Strawberry Banana Bread


Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups (210 grams) whole-wheat pastry flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 medium (200 grams or 1 cup) ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup (115 grams) plain lowfat Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup (80 grams) honey
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) sugar
  • 1 cup (140 grams) diced strawberries, fresh or frozen and thawed

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350ºF (176ºC), and lightly grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir until well-combined, and set aside.

Add the eggs, bananas, Greek yogurt, honey and coconut sugar in a medium bowl. Stir until well-combined, then gently folding in the diced strawberries.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir gently. Do not overmix.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly, and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts to get too brown, cover it with a sheet of aluminum foil after 35 minutes.

Remove from oven, and let it cool for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
