    Vegan Strawberry Bread

    A fresh, delicious and easy vegan strawberry bread made with whole wheat and fresh strawberries. It's the perfect, wholesome snack.

    Spring is almost synonymous with rich, red strawberries bursting with tart-sweet flavor and more goodness than anything so delicious oughta have. Desi, who loves berries, is always coming home with armfuls of them, and although neither he nor Jay can get enough of them, there are always more to use up before they go bad. That's why, every Spring, I go around digging for strawberry recipes to try out and devour. This time, I hit the jackpot with this scrumptious Strawberry Bread.

    This vegan Strawberry bread is healthy and low-fat: it's whole wheat, for one, and it's filled with all sorts of fruity goodness. Although strawberries are the undisputed stars here, there is also a banana in this and some applesauce. Both add tenderness and moisture to the Strawberry Bread without screaming out their presence.

    This bread is more of a cake, really, and it's not only a crowd pleaser, it's also a kid pleaser-- something I've learned to appreciate more than ever in these past few months. Jay looks forward to slices of the bread in his snack box, and he has no idea it is good for him, or at least much better than those cookies and candy he otherwise craves.

    Here's the recipe for a delicious vegan Strawberry Bread. Try it for breakfast or for dessert-- you can't go wrong.

    Ingredients 

    Dry ingredients

    • 1 ยพ cup whole wheat pastry flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • ยผ teaspoon baking powder
    • ยผ teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
    • ยผ teaspoon nutmeg

    Wet ingredients

    • 2 cups strawberries (hulled and quartered)
    • 1 very ripe banana
    • โ…“ cup applesauce
    • โ…“ cup vegetable oil
    • ยฝ to ยพ cup sugar (use more for a sweeter bread, although ยฝ cup is perfect, I believe. If adding less sugar, cut down baking time and start checking the bread for doneness five minutes earlier.)
    • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    • 2 tablespoon flax meal (not flax eggs-- don't add any water)
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • In a small saucepan, place the strawberries.and turn to medium heat. When the juices bubble from the strawberries, turn off the heat.
    • In a bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients until mixed.
    • In a larger bowl, place all the wet ingredients. Whisk by hand or in a stand mixer, or with a hand mixer, until the mixture is all frothy and well-mixed.
    • Add the dry ingredients in two batches, mixing thoroughly after each addition. The batter will be rather thick, which is fine because the strawberries will release more moisture while cooking.
    • Add the cooked strawberries, swirling them through the batter to spread them evenly without mashing them into the batter.
    • Scrape the batter into a 9-inch loaf pan or a small baking pan. Smooth out the top. If you wish, you can layer on some sliced strawberries on top for a prettier look.
    • Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for one hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
    • Cool on a rack before slicing.

      For this recipe, could I substitute agave for the sugar, and just how much would I need?

      Hi Vaishali. Do you think if I could replace the strawberries with apple slices in Autumn?
      Thanks a lot.

      What if i used simple whole wheat flour, or all purpose flour? I don't have whole wheat pastry flour. I am not a frequent baker, so I am not sure if I want to make the purchase. Can I mix both APF, and whole wheat flour?

        Hi Dianne, yes you can. Use half all-purpose and half whole wheat. Cheers.
