Ingredients

2 large bananas, mashed (about a cup)
2 large eggs
⅓ cup (75g) sour cream or Greek yogurt
½ cup (100g) brown sugar
¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
2 teaspoons (10ml) vanilla extract
2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon (4g) baking powder
1 teaspoon (6g) baking soda
½ teaspoon (3g) salt
½ cup (113g) melted butter
1-1½ cups (200-300g) chopped strawberries
½-1 cup (85-170g) white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉ (180℃). Grease a 9”×5” loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside. A strip of parchment paper along the bottom with enough to grab on the ends will make it easier to remove from the pan.
In a small bowl, mash the bananas, then add the eggs, sour cream, sugar (brown and white), and vanilla extract.
In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until thoroughly combined.
Pour in the melted butter and thoroughly mix, scraping down the sides as you go.
Stir in the strawberries and optional white chocolate chips just until they are incorporated throughout the mixture.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Leave the bread in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing it so it can firm up, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Bring all the ingredients to room temperature before starting for easier mixing.
Use a bundt or tube pan for a cake, bake for about the same amount of time, but keep an eye on it just in case. Double the recipe and pour the batter into a greased 9″x13″ baking dish for an impressive sheet cake. Bake at 350℉ (180℃) for about 30 minutes.
