Strawberry Bread

Will you judge me if I told you that I made this strawberry bread twice in the past week?

And I am only calling it strawberry “bread”, because the fact that this is basically strawberry pound cake and should only be consumed as a dessert will send me spiralling in shame.

I will admit it now: this was my breakfast, snack and dessert for the past 7 days. Sprinkling in the strawberries was the only thing that made me feel good about calling it a breakfast food.

Have you ever tried strawberry bread? I have been shoving all sorts of things inside all of my breads (pumpkin, banana. raisins and coconut..) but for some strange reason, I have never thought of putting in strawberries.

And then, my life changed last week.

Then again later that week because I made it again, but with chocolate chips.

(That one disappeared too quickly that I didn’t have time to photograph it.)

This bread is so incredibly moist, and not at all dry like the breads I keep buying from my local coffee shop. I have actually made a habit of taking some of this bread along with me when I sit down at a coffee shop now to get some work done. Saves me lots of money, plus.. I’m sorry. It just tastes better than what you buy there.

I have even made french toast out of this bread, and it has turned out amazing. So good in fact that I didn’t photograph THAT either.

I know. Worst food blogger ever.

But with strawberry prices going down, I can afford to make loaf after loaf. I am even thinking of freezing some so that I can enjoy it later when I am too busy to bake.

But then again, if my current trend continues, I don’t think I will have enough time to wrap it up and get the loaf ready for the freezer before someone devours it. And trust me. This is one of the best problems to have.
