Delicious Strawberry Bread Recipe That Won’t Hurt Your Waistline

Strawberry Bread with Coconut Flour

Warm weather means more than just hot summer fashion, but it also means lots of yummy and bright colored fruits.  After battling through Atlanta traffic on Wednesday evening, I got to the Farmer’s Table 5 minutes prior to closing.  I grabbed my brussel sprouts, string beans and broccoli the Sue (the owner) told everyone in the store that they could have a flat of strawberries for free!  So amped, I went and grabbed my flat.  After rinsing and freezing about half the flat for our daily smoothies, I decided to take a stab at Strawberry Bread (the healthy way of course).  I must say it comes outs soft and very moist.  Since it’s not very sweet, it tastes great with a little Nutella or even add your own preserves.  Hope you enjoy my recipe!
