Healthier Options For Your Farmhouse Strawberry Bread Recipe
What you should know about this strawberry bread recipe, is that you can make it with all purpose flour or a combination of the all purpose flour and whole wheat flour for a healthy strawberry quick bread option. So, by making it healthier, you can add that extra glaze or have that butter slathered on top, if you wish. Always compromises, am I right?
Just remember, the more whole wheat flour you add in, the healthy strawberry quick bread will have a nuttier, slightly denser texture, which I enjoy. So, if you desire a healthier option and not allergic to wheat, then try the combination. (I don’t know how it would be if you used all whole wheat flour, so if you do make it, let us know how it turn out.)

Strawberry Tips
- For a stronger strawberry flavor, you can rough chop your strawberries or even add more, this recipe uses 2 cups, but you could bump it up to 2 1/2 cups.
- Small chop the strawberries. It looks like a better presentation with the smaller chunks of strawberry in the bread and it will bake more evenly. Using a lot of fruit or large pieces of fruit can make your bread fall apart and really change the texture of the bread.
- If you do the rough chop, just toss the strawberries in a tablespoon of flour to get a light coating of flour before adding them to the batter. This is especially helpful when you have a batter that is thin, while thicker batters are a little better at keeping the fruit suspended.
