I don’t know what it is, but I have been on the biggest banana kick of my life over the past two months! I didn’t even like bananas a few years ago, but now I find myself craving them for a snack, in my oatmeal, on toast with peanut butter, and this bread… oh, this bread! I got this recipe from NoSugarSweetLife.com and have made this bread at least once a week since December. It’s fabulous with my morning coffee and even though it’s not too sweet, it makes a great dessert when I’m in the mood for cake. I’ve made it with different flavor yogurts and different kinds of berries too – just divine. You’ve got to try it!

- Add eggs and sugar… mix thoroughly.
- Add greek yogurt
- Whisk until everything is well combined and there are no lumps.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined. At this point, fold in the fresh strawberries!
- Pour batter into a greased loaf pan and distribute evenly.

- Transfer to a cooling rack and (try to) let the bread cool for at least ten minutes before slicing.
