Alexandr’s Strawberry Bread

My oldest son Alexandr LOVES strawberries. I love baking, so for my visit with he and his brother for Father’s Day I decided to make a simpler version of my Chocolate Strawberry Banana Bread that was just tasty organic fresh strawberries in a fluffy tasty bread.

With a cooking time of just 65-70 minutes this is an easy bread to start right before you cook dinner so you can have a perfect dessert piping hot right when you’re ready for it!
