Can I cut the amount of refined sugar in this?

It’s very easy to cut the refined sugar in this recipe. Simply swap 1/4 cup of sugar with

• 1 ripe, mashed banana
• 1/4 cup applesauce
• 1/4 cup honey (turn the oven temp down 25 degrees to avoid overbrowning)

Yes, it is ok! Strawberries have a lot of moisture so don’t worry, your bread will still be moist and delicious.

How to freeze strawberry bread

This strawberry bread is great to make double or triple batches, and freeze some for later. Simply wrap in an airtight ziplock bag, and store in the freezer for up to 2 months. Allow the bread to thaw for 1-2 hours on the counter before slicing.

You can also slice the bread first, then freeze. To enjoy, simply allow each slice to thaw for 20 minutes on the counter. This can help with grab and go breakfasts and snacks.
