Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and optional ground cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, blend the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted, cooled butter until smooth.
  4. Add the large eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition, then stir in the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, gently folding with a spatula.
  6. Fold in the diced strawberries and rhubarb along with any optional add-ins.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle coarse sugar on top if desired.
  8. Bake for 55-65 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
