Strawberry Lemon Bread

I really liked the raspberry lemon bread I made a couple weeks ago.  I took out some strawberries we froze from last summer to have with breakfast the other morning, and decided to use some of them to make in a bread. And Strawberry Lemon bread was born- sounded so yummy.

Ingredients:
5 Tbs non-dairy butter softened
3/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. applesauce (I used my homemade applesauce)
1 tsp vanilla
2 lemons- mashed and discard the membrane and seeds- keep the juice and pulp
2 1/4 c. wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 c frozen or fresh strawberries (mine were farm fresh berries frozen last summer and thawed then mashed before placing in the bread mixture)


Step 1: Grease 8 X 5 in loaf pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Step 2: Combine butter, sugar, applesauce, vanilla, and lemons. Mix well.

Step 3: Add baking powder and baking soda. Blend well.

Step 4: Add Flour. Mix well

Step 5: Fold in strawberries. Pour mixture into loaf pan and place in oven. Bake for 50-60 minutes.
