Yield: 16 slices
1 1/4 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup oat flour
2/3 cup sugar*
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 cups sliced strawberries
1/4 cup nonfat or low-fat milk
1/4 cup fat-free egg substitute or 1 large egg, beaten
1/4 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Place the flours, sugar, and baking powder in a large bowl and stir to mix well. Set aside.
3. Place the strawberries in a mini food processor or blender and process into a puree.
(There should be one cup; adjust the amount if needed.) Combine the
strawberry puree, milk, egg substitute or egg, oil, and vanilla extract
and stir to mix. Add the strawberry mixture to the flour mixture, and
stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Set the batter aside
for 10 minutes.
4. Add the nuts to the batter and stir for about 5 seconds. Coat the
bottom only of a 9-x-5-inch pan (or two 3 1/2-x-7-inch pans) with
cooking spray. Bake for about 45 minutes (if using 2 small pans, bake
for about 30 minutes), or just until a wooden toothpick inserted in the
center of the loaf comes out clean.
5. Remove the bread from the oven, and cool on a wire rack for 15
minutes. Remove the bread from the pan and place on the wire rack to
cool thoroughly. Wrap and store overnight before slicing.
