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.

Any possible recommendations for substitutions for eggs, never tried to sub for four……
Hi Michelle, it is a double batch (makes two loaves) so think of it like a quick bread recipe you would swap with 2 eggs. It would be the same, just doubled.
