Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
- ⅓ cup canola or vegetable oil
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour, plus up to ¼ cup more if needed
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 large or 3 small)
- 1½ cups fresh strawberries, quartered and tossed in 3 tbsp flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray or grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, brown sugar, granulated sugar, oil, sour cream, and vanilla until smooth.
- Stir in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until just combined—don’t overmix.
- Gently fold in the mashed bananas, then the flour-coated strawberries. Batter should be thick—add up to ¼ cup flour if needed.
- Pour into loaf pan, smooth the top, and bake for 55–65 minutes until golden and toothpick comes out mostly clean.
- Let cool 15 minutes in pan, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Coating the strawberries in flour helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom. For extra flair, add white chocolate chips or chopped walnuts!
