Moist, tender and not too sweet with just a hint of lemon, this fresh strawberry bread is a winner in my book.

Servings:

Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Coat a 9x5 loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. In a small bowl whisk together the egg, egg white, oil, juice and lemon zest.
Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir until blended. (The batter will be thick.) Stir in the strawberries.
Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. (Mine took 55 minutes. If the bread is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with foil.)
Remove from the pan from the oven and set on a wire rack to cool for about 10 minutes. Then carefully remove the loaf from the pan and set it on the wire rack to cool completely.
Cut into 12 slices.

Serving size: 1 slice (1/12th recipe)

The original recipe suggests cranberry-strawberry juice but any red fruit juice would work. (I used a berry blend from Hansen's.)

And to boost its nutritional profile use a combination of whole wheat pastry flour and all-purpose flour.

If you are sugar-free, adjust the sugar content with your sweetener of choice.

And of course you could always use butter instead of olive oil if you prefer.

Be sure to fluff your flour well before measuring it to prevent your bread from being dry, tough or heavy.
