RecipeReplica: Eggless Strawberry And Walnut Yogurt Bread

This is an egg-less variation I tried out about a dozen days ago from ChefInYou. There can't be many who doesn't know about DK, the ChefInYou fame. She has managed to a carve a niche in the blogosphere with her boisterous write-ups and foolproof recipes. I only recently came to know about ChefInYou through a blogger buddy of mine.Makes me wonder why I didn't know about her blog earlier. Brrr. I have  bookmarked a dozen recipes to try.The base recipe calls for a couple of eggs which I replaced with banana and cornstarch. I can tell you, the eggs weren't missed. In any way. Enjoy it with a dollop of jelly like I did.
Ingredients:
  • 1 3/4 Cups King Arthur All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 Ripe Banana, pulped
  • 2 tbsp Hodgson Mill Pure Cornstarch 
  • 1 Cup Ripe Strawberries, finely chopped
  • 1 Cup Toasted Walnuts, roughly chopped
  • 3/4 Cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Butter, softened and at room temperature
  • 1/2 Cup Yogurt, whisked
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon
Tool:
  • 2 Mini 5.75" X 3" Loaf Pan  Or 1 9" X 5" Loaf Pan
Procedure:
  • Sift together all the dry ingredients(flour, baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch, ground cinnamon) in a wide bowl.
  • Cream the butter and sugar till a fluffy consistency is reached.
  • Add the sifted dry ingredients, salt to the creamed butter-sugar mixture along with the yogurt.
  • Stir-in the nuts and the berries. Mix only till all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  • Grease the loaf pans with little oil or butter.
  • Divide the mixture between 2 mini loaf pans(if using 2 mini loaf pans) and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a tooth pick comes clean when inserted in the center.
  • Cool the loaf/loaves completely prior to slicing.
  • Enjoy it by itself or with a bit of jelly(like I did).
Enjoy!
