Strawberry Bread
This fresh homemade strawberry bread recipe is perfect for a healthy breakfast or dessert.
Servings: 10 - 14 slices
Ingredients
- 2 cups spelt or white all purpose flour (gluten free and keto options are listed above)
- 3/4 cup sugar, unrefined if desired
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 2/3 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, diced
- 1 cup water
- 3 tbsp oil, butter, or almond butter (or see note below about fat free option)
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 egg or flax egg, or 2 tbsp additional water
- 1/3 cup sliced strawberries, for the top
- optional 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- optional 1/2 cup slivered almonds or chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease a 9x5 loaf pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper. Stir first five ingredients in a large bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients except topping to form a batter. Spread into the pan. Press sliced strawberries on top (see video above). Bake 60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Let cool. If you can wait, the taste and texture are much better the next day! Leftovers can be sliced and frozen.*A few readers have said they liked the results of subbing applesauce for the oil, but I have not tried. Feel free to experiment.View Nutrition Facts
