2 cups strawberries (hulled and quartered)
1 very ripe banana
⅓ cup applesauce
⅓ cup avocado oil or any neutral oil
½ to ¾ cup sugar (use more for a sweeter bread, although ½ cup is perfect, I believe. If adding less sugar, cut down baking time and start checking the bread for doneness five minutes earlier.)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoon flax meal (not flax eggs-- don't add any water)

In a small saucepan, place the strawberries.and turn to medium heat. When the juices bubble from the strawberries, turn off the heat.
In a bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients until mixed.
In a larger bowl, place all the wet ingredients. Whisk by hand or in a stand mixer, or with a hand mixer, until the mixture is all frothy and well-mixed.
Add the dry ingredients in two batches, mixing thoroughly after each addition. The batter will be rather thick, which is fine because the strawberries will release more moisture while cooking.
Add the cooked strawberries, swirling them through the batter to spread them evenly without mashing them into the batter.
Scrape the batter into a 9-inch loaf pan or a small baking pan. Smooth out the top. If you wish, you can layer on some sliced strawberries on top for a prettier look.
Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for one hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool on a rack before slicing.
