Preheat oven to 175C / 350F. Line a baking tray with baking paper / silicon baking mat and grease a 9 x 5 loaf tin with butter.
Evenly spread the strawberries and mangoes onto the prepared baking tray. Bake in the oven for 15 mins, or until juicy and soft. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
In a mixing bowl add the butter, eggs, banana yogurt and milk. Mix until combined and no lumps of yoghurt remain.
In a separate mixing bowl add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and stir until combined.
Add the strawberries and mango to a bowl and use approx 1 -2 tbsp of the dry mixture to coat the fruit.
Mix the wet with the dry until combined and then gently fold in the strawberries and mango.

Cool in the tin for 10 mins before transferring to a wire rack.
