A moist and tender Strawberry Whole Wheat Bread featuring the wholesome goodness of oat flour and a touch of honey. This quick bread is bursting with strawberry flavor and makes a perfect breakfast, snack, or light dessert.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour

  • ½ cup oat flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 2 large eggs

  • ½ cup milk (or buttermilk for extra tenderness)

  • ½ cup honey

  • ¼ cup melted unsalted butter or vegetable oil

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, diced (if frozen, do not thaw)

Directions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan, or line with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon (if using), and salt. Make sure there are no lumps.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, honey, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  • Gently fold in the diced strawberries. Be gentle to prevent crushing them too much.
  • Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slices best when fully cooled.

Notes

    • For Extra Moistness: If your whole wheat flour tends to make things dry, consider adding an extra tablespoon of milk to the wet ingredients. It can make a surprising difference!
    • Strawberry Swap: While fresh strawberries are lovely, don’t hesitate to use frozen ones (unthawed!) if that’s what you have. You can also experiment with other berries like blueberries or raspberries for a delightful twist.
    • Perfect Golden Crust: For that beautifully golden-brown crust without overbaking the inside, keep an eye on it around the 40-minute mark. If it’s browning too quickly, you can loosely tent the top with aluminum foil.
