Eat Skinny: Whole Wheat Strawberry Bread Recipe | The Realistic Nutritionist (2024)

04.12.12

PIN IT!

So, remember how I said yesterday’s post was going to be really short b/c I had 1,000 things to do? Well, this post will be like, half that size because as I’m typing, I’m also having a slight pre-flight induced anxiety attack. Ugh. I really wish I could just GET OVER THIS. However, talking about it won’t help so let’s talk about something else, like strawberry bread!

And not just any ol’ strawberry bread friends, WHOLE WHEAT strawberry bread made with brown sugar. It’s the perfect breakfast bread.

So, I have no idea why this happened (I’m no food scientist) but the brown sugar cooked into the bread in a way that it almost gave the edges a sugary, crispy kind of crunch. It’sunexplainablebut makes the bread 100,000 times more delectable.

A little crunchy, deliciously soft and with the perfect amount of fresh strawberry taste. Given how much I love those plump, juicy berries, it’s a shocker I haven’t made a strawberry bread before! It’s definitely on my list again, for sure.

Now, if you don’t mind, I’m going to go scream into a pillow to prepare for my flight at 3.

Just to add to the flight thing - last christmas someone bought me a flying lesson as a present ... JEEEZ, NEVER again!! Good luck! Moo x

This would be amazing for breakfast right now. I used to have flight panic too. If we got stuck on the tarmac for any extended period of time, major claustrophobia kicks in. Good luck girlie!

Gorgeous and unusual bread. I'll very happily eat this for breakfast. Hope the screaming intoa pillow helped with the pre-flight anxiety ;)

This is a good way to use up strawberries that are less than their freshest. Have you tried whole wheat pastry flour? It really makes light baked goods. I did a little research and it appears to be nutritionally equivalent to whole wheat flour.

Ooooh! Delish! Cook chemical mad-scientist reaction with the brown sugar. Must try!
Glad to know someone else still get flight anxiety. I had a 16 hour flight to Hong Kong in January that my husband had to physically carry me on because I had a meltdown. I was fine after take off. I guess facing your fear builds character :)

Quite a healthy treat. I see how the strawberries could add a lot of character and spunk to this otherwise very straightforward bread. Innovative solution!

Awesome recipe ! I tried this and ended up changing most of the ingredients because I ran out ! I replaced the applesauce by half milk and half strawberry coulis (just leftover strawberries zoomed) and the whole wheat flour by regulier flour and oats, and finally I think I must've put at least 1 cup and a half frozen berries in - it makes a really moist cake (and I like to think healthy!)
Thanks for the recipes anyway, your blog makes my day !

Awesome recipe! Subbing in apple sauce in place of the oil will bring the calories down to 164 and fat to 1.8 g if cut into 8 pieces!

It is always advisable to have the intervention of a
logo design company to ensure that the end result serves the
set purpose easily. Logo design companies should realize it that this is not the way to attract the clients to get orders, rather at the end of the day;
it will be creating problems and nothing else for them.
It is not difficult to get a good logo design if you know
exactly what you want it to portray to the mass.

This is my favorite bread recipe although I do add 1/3 cup of organic honey or maple syrup instead of all the sugar and some group almonds for texture.
