Strawberry Banana Bread with Crumb Topping

This recipe for strawberry banana bread was a “sweet” entry in our March Recipe Madness Contest, created and submitted by Alana. To qualify, she uses 8 ingredients or less, including Almond Milk Yogurt by So Delicious Dairy Free.

Alana shared this as a spring springtime dessert, using dairy-free yogurt for added moisture. She also says, “Today I made this strawberry banana bread with an Omega 3 brand flour that has a great deal of wheat in it. But, in my recipe I have regular flour because most people may not appreciate the extra fiber. Either can be substituted.”

If you do opt for making this a whole wheat quick bread, then you will probably like my Spiced Pear Breakfast Bread and this Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread recipe from Healthy Seasonal Recipes, too.
