Ingredients:
2.25 c. sliced fresh strawberries
2 large eggs (I substituted ground flax seeds...please see: Post Punk Kitchen's Guide to Egg Replacement for the proportions)
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. veggie oil (I substituted safflower oil, again, flawless substitution)
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1.5 c. unbleached flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powpow
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. chopped nuts (The recipe suggests almonds - in lieu of almonds, I used walnuts)
Procedure:
1) Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a loaf pan and set it aside. Place berries in a blender and puree. Blend in egg replacer, sugar, oil, and vanilla.
2) In a separate bowl, sift all dry ingredients, save the nuts, and then fold into the wet mixture. Next, fold in nuts then transfer to loaf pan. Bake bread for 50-60 minutes. Cool for about 10 minutes in pan, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely. Serve! (As per my M.O., I went the muffin route and baked these bad boys for about 15-20 minutes at 400F.)
Conclusion:
These are phenomenal muffins. Again, NMcL commented on how delicious the aroma in the apartment was. The muffins were pretty incredible, not gunna lie, and tasted phenomenal with a little schmear of Better Than Cream Cheese.
