Arrow

– 3 medium ripe bananas, peeled and mashed – 1 c. granular monk fruit sweetener, like Whole Earth – 1/2 c. unflavored coconut oil – 2 eggs – 4 1/2 tsp. lemon juice (juice of 1/2 lemon) – 2 c. all-purpose flour, plus 1 Tbsp. – 1 tsp. baking soda – 1/2 tsp. baking powder – 1/2 tsp. salt – 1 1/2 c. fresh strawberries, chopped

INGREDIENTS

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two 9" x 5" loaf pans with parchment paper, securing edges with binder clips. Set aside. In larger mixing bowl, mash ripe bananas, and add sweetener, eggs, oil and lemon juice. Stir well to combine.

Step 2

In another bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of flour (reserving the 1 tablespoon), baking soda, baking powder and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, using a whisk. Stir until the batter is just combined and without lumps.

Step 3

Chop the fresh strawberries and sprinkle with the reserved 1 tablespoon of flour. Stir to coat the strawberries. Pour coated strawberries into batter and fold in with a rubber scraper.

Step 4

Evenly divide the batter into the two prepared loaf pans. Top the batter with sliced strawberries and halved bananas for garnish, if desired. Remove the binder clips (if you used them to secure the parchment paper), and bake loaves at 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the loaf comes out clean and crumb free.

Step 5

Let loaves cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
