Eat Skinny: Whole Wheat Strawberry Bread Recipe
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’s unexplainable but 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.
