Banana Strawberry Buttermilk Bread

---

I made this recipe two ways – as a loaf and as muffins. I just like the natural portion control that comes with muffins.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 c butter, softened
• 1/2 c sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 c buttermilk
• 2 over-ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 c flour
• 1/4 c ground golden flax seed
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 c sliced strawberries + extra for the top

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, mix the butter and sugar together with a hand mixer. Mix in eggs, buttermilk, mashed banana and vanilla.
3. In a medium bowl combine flour, ground flax, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Combine with the butter mixture.
4. Fold in the strawberries.
5. Fill a greased loaf pan, or muffin cups. Top with sliced strawberries.
6. Bake 50-55 minutes if making a loaf. Bake 22-25 minutes if making muffins.
