Ingredients

2 eggs
2 ripe bananas

80 grams (1/3 cup) Greek yogurt
150 grams (2 cup) oat flour

50 grams (1/2 cup) almond flour
50 grams (1/4 scant cup) maple syrup

1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/6 tsp salt

80 ml (1/3 cup) milk of choice
150 grams (1 cup) fresh strawberries

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 20 cm (7.9 inches) loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly with oil.

Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir in the eggs, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until the batter is smooth.
Step 3: Add the oat flour, almond flour, and baking powder to the wet mixture. Gradually pour in the milk while stirring to combine everything into a smooth batter.
Step 4: Gently fold in the diced fresh strawberries, being careful not to crush them.

Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Optionally, top with additional strawberries for decoration.
Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack or plate to cool completely before slicing.

Tips & Variations

For a nuttier flavor, toast the almond flour lightly before mixing it in.
Swap fresh strawberries for frozen ones if fresh are out of season; just fold them in gently to avoid turning the batter pink.
Add a handful of chopped nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture and indulgence.

Use plant-based yogurt and milk to make this recipe dairy-free.

Storage

Store the banana strawberry bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap it tightly and refrigerate for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, warm slices gently in a toaster or microwave until just heated through.

FAQs

Can I use regular all-purpose flour instead of oat and almond flour?

Yes, you can substitute with all-purpose flour, but the texture and flavor will be slightly different. Use about 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour in total and keep an eye on baking time, as it may vary.

How ripe should the bananas be for this recipe?

The bananas should be very ripe with lots of brown spots. This ensures they’re sweet and soft enough to mash easily, adding natural sweetness and moisture to the bread.
