Strawberry Bread

This is yet another original recipe...I made it for a baby shower brunch/tea, and it is perfect for a spring treat! And such a nice change from banana bread, too. I used frozen strawberries because that is what I had on hand, but I'm sure that fresh would work as well, though you might have to add some water. I really wouldn't recommend just substituting the strawberries with jam, though, as I think that a lot of the texture would be lost, and the less fresh and light it would be.

Ingredients:
14 - 16 oz. frozen strawberries, heated and mashed to equal 2+ cups
two flax eggs
1/2 c. honey or maple syrup
2 T oil
1 t. vanilla
1 3/4 c. whole wheat flour
1/2 t. salt
1 t. baking soda
1/4 c. water (you may or may not need this)
1/2 c. chopped pecans, toasted

Directions:
Mix wet ingredients together. In a separate bowl, mix dry ingredients together, except nuts. Add wet to dry, then fold in nuts. Bake at 325 for 45 - 55 minutes in a greased 9 x 5 pan, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
