Healthy Strawberry Bread

  2. In a large bowl mix the whole wheat flour, finely processed rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and salt. Whisk together till well mixed.
  3. Then, add the whole milk, olive oil, and eggs. Stir until well mixed together.
  4. Fold in the strawberries.
  5. Pour evenly into the three prepared loaf pans.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes. The loaves will be done when the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pans and the tops are a nice golden brown. An inserted toothpick should come out clean.
  7. Put the pans on a wire cooling rack till cool to the touch and then enjoy!

This is a great recipe when your garden is overflowing with strawberries, also, keep some chopped up and frozen for making this bread in the winter.  We usually eat this as a breakfast bread, but I have put it into a 13x9 inch pan and used this as a dessert recipe as well (same bake time and temperature). 

I have sent this to work with my husband with rave reviews from his co-workers.  I have made this for friends and family when company has come, it never fails to please.  Let me know what you think...and enjoy!!!
