It’s STRAWBERRY season! Fresh strawberries are one of my favorites. But, then again, any fresh berry that’s in season will be welcomed with open arms. Even so, with all this big glorious berries around right now, I thought it was high time to put them to use!

This Skinny Strawberry Bread is absolutely LOADED with fresh strawberries to the point that you don’t need any sort of jam or icing on this bread. It’s perfect just the way it is. The bread here is just sweet enough, and with the bright freshness of those strawberries… I’m in heaven right now. THIS is how breakfast should be.

I lightened this bread up and made it a touch more healthy with just a few simple swaps. Mostly it’s the bit of whole wheat white flour and cutting the sugar down with some natural sweeteners. The only thing other than that which I changed was the buttermilk. I used a lightened -homemade- buttermilk and it worked out just the same.

Sadly, my daughter wouldn’t even try this bread. Which I was a little surprised at since she is such a huge strawberry fan. But, she’s also well known for having a strong aversion to any sort of HOT fruit. My mom on the other hand? She stole half of loaf and decided that we should open a bakery…

A for effort there mom, but I doubt I’ll be opening a bakery here anytime soon.

Either way, this bread comes out just sweet enough and just needs a quick warm up in the microwave in the morning to enjoy with a smidge of butter and some good coffee. This, this right here… this is what summer is made for!
