Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour see note 1 (300 grams)
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled (56.5 grams)
3/4 cup sugar (148.5 grams)
3/4 cup yogurt see note 1 (170.25 grams)
2 eggs beaten
3 very ripe bananas mashed well, see note 3
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh diced strawberries (136.1. grams)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 9 by 5 inch bread pan (see note 4) with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour, 3/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt
In a large bowl whisk together the butter and sugar. Then whisk in the yogurt, eggs, bananas, and vanilla.
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, 3/4 cup sugar, 3/4 cup yogurt, 2 eggs, 3 very ripe bananas, 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Gently add the flour mixture to the liquid ingredients, folding them together until just combined. Be careful not to over mix.
Gently stir in the strawberries. The batter will be very thick.
1 cup fresh diced strawberries
Pour the batter into the bread pan and bake for 60 to 65 minutes (mine took 63 minutes) or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the bread comes out clean or with a few crumbs.
Let the bread cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Remove and transfer to a wire rack to cool for an hour before slicing.
Because of the fresh strawberries, this recipe won't last as long as a traditional banana bread. You want to store this in an air tight clear container and eat within two to three days.

Notes

One thing that ensures perfection in baking recipes is properly measuring flour. See how to do this in my post How to Measure Flour.
I typically use vanilla yogurt in this recipe, though strawberry yogurt works well also. Greek yogurt will also work. If your family doesn't like yogurt, you can use sour cream.
I've had readers ask for a more detailed measurement with bananas. But if you just use medium sized bananas, you don't need to worry about an exact weight measurement.
A good bread pan can make or break a bread recipe. I highly recommend this bread pan.
