Ingredients

  • 2 cups chopped fresh strawberries
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • ¼ cup applesauce
  • ½ cup sugar plus 2 teaspoons, divided
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup whole wheat flour
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch by 4-inch loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Place 2 cups chopped strawberries in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons sugar and stir to coat. Using a fork, gently mash the berries. You don’t want them completely mashed into a puree because a few chunks are nice.
  • Place mashed strawberries (plus their juices), melted butter, and applesauce in a large bowl. Use a wooden spoon to mix together.
  • Add sugar, egg, and vanilla to strawberry mixture. Stir until well blended.
  • Sprinkle baking soda and salt over mixture and stir until well blended.
  • Add whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour last, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to over-mix or your bread will be tough.
  • Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 45 minutes - 1 hour, or until brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Cool on a wire rack. Remove from pan and slice to serve.
