Strawberry-Banana Bread with Walnuts
Description
A one-bowl recipe for strawberry-banana bread with walnuts uses applesauce to replace some of the oil and makes plenty to share, yielding two full-size loaves plus a mini loaf.
Ingredients
•
1 tablespoon butter
•
4 large eggs
•
1 cup white sugar
•
1 cup mashed strawberries
•
1 cup mashed bananas
•
1 cup strawberry yogurt
•
1/2 cup rolled oats
•
1/2 cup canola oil
•
1/2 cup applesauce
•
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
3 cups all-purpose flour
•
1 teaspoon baking soda
•
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
•
1 cup chopped walnuts
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 8.5x4.5-inch loaf pans and one 5.75x3-inch mini loaf pan with butter.
2
Lightly beat eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Add sugar, strawberries, bananas, yogurt, oats, oil, applesauce, and vanilla and beat until well combined. Let sit for 5 minutes to soak oats.
3
Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg to the strawberry-banana mixture, beating just until combined. Stir in walnuts. Pour batter into the prepared pans.
4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes for mini loaf and 1 hour for larger loaves.
