Ingredients

2 large eggs
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup sour cream or yogurt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus 2 tablespoons for dusting the strawberries
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup (4 ounces/113g) butter, melted
1½ cups fresh strawberries, diced

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉ (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with baking or cooking spray; set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract.
In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until thoroughly combined.
Pour in the melted butter and mix thoroughly, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
In a medium bowl, toss the strawberries with about two tablespoons of flour. That helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf pan.
Stir in the strawberries just until incorporated throughout the batter.
Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the strawberry banana bread remain in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing. Then, turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
