I was in the mood to make a fruit bread like zucchini or banana. Some people will tout this strawberry rhubarb bread as “healthy” bread. It’s not super healthy but it does make me feed good to be using items from my garden. I’ve been trying to find creative and unique recipes for using my strawberries and rhubarb from our garden last summer. You can only make and eat strawberry rhubarb crisp so many times!
I like this recipe because you can use it for a quick and easy breakfast, just add yogurt!
Here’s a recipe that I took and adjusted from fANNEtasticfood.com.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 c Wheat Montana whole wheat flour
- 1C Wheat Montana all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 cup unsweetened oat milk (or any milk)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup organic cane sugar
- 3 tbsp coconut oil (I used 2 tbsp of canola oil + 1 tbsp plain greek yogurt)
- 1 1/4 cups chopped strawberries (I used 1.5 C frozen strawberries)
- 3/4 cup chopped rhubarb (I used .75 C frozen chopped rhubarb)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Defrost the frozen rhubarb and strawberries in a microwave safe bowl. (I typically use a Pyrex measuring bowl, and microwave it for about 4-5 minutes, power 8).
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg together.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the oat milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla and oil (and/or yogurt).
- Lightly blend the defrosted rhubarb and strawberry in a food processor. (NOTE: I do this because I don’t like chunks of fruit in my breads, especially rhubarb).
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir lightly until combined​.
- Gently stir the strawberries and rhubarb into the batter. Pour batter into a greased loaf pan.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean. Cool for 10-15 minutes, then remove from the pan and allow to cool completely.
I hope you enjoy this strawberry rhubarb bread!
