Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 4 large eggs
• ½ cup rolled oats
• 1 tablespoon butter
• ½ cup applesauce
• 1 cup mashed bananas
• 1 cup mashed strawberries
• ½ cup canola oil
• 1 cup strawberry yogurt

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 8.5x4.5-inch loaf pans and one 5.75x3-inch mini loaf pan with butter.

Step 2

Lightly beat eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Add sugar, strawberries, bananas, yogurt, oats, oil, applesauce, and vanilla and beat until well combined. Let sit for 5 minutes to soak oats.

Step 3

Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg to the strawberry-banana mixture, beating just until combined. Stir in walnuts. Pour batter into the prepared pans.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes for mini loaf and 1 hour for larger loaves.
