Rhubarb Strawberry Bread

Strawberry and rhubarb is one of my favorite flavor combinations come spring and summer. I love a good strawberry rhubarb pie or crisp at restaurants (just had it last weekend, in fact!). So I thought it would be fun to mix it up with a less sweet but still delicious variation for this month’s Almond Breeze partnership recipe post.

The result is this lightly spiced and tangy whole wheat bread. It would make a great breakfast, especially if paired with some eggs or yogurt for a little extra protein!

For an afternoon snack, smear it with a little almond butter to amp up the staying power. It’s also a great Easter brunch recipe.

As always, this is easy to throw together. It will only take a few minutes of hands-on time to chop up the produce and mix everything together before popping it in the oven.

  • This looks amazing! Love strawberries & rhubarb! My only question--what would be a good substitute for the coconut oil? (only thing I don't have in my pantry)...Thanks!

    • You could use butter instead if you have that!

  • I was trying to explain to my parents why full fat or 2% milk is better than skim milk and I couldn't find the post where you talked about why. Could you point me to it?

  • Lovely looking recipe, can't wait to try it out because I have so much surplus rhubarb in the garden right now! Would spelt flour be possible as a substitute for the whole wheat flour?
    Reply
    • Yes, I think that would work just fine!

      • Perfect, Thanks! I'll let you know how it turns out

        • Hi Anne, I made the bread using Spelt Wholemeal Flour and substituted the strawberries with dessert apple because that's what I had available! . It turned out perfectly, I'll definitely make this again, Thanks for sharing.

  • This looks delicious! When I was a kid my mom would always make strawberry rhubarb crisp with fresh rhubarb from our garden. Mmm, so tasty! This sounds like a great bread recipe to try for Spring. I usually stick to the usual banana bread varieties, but this would be a nice way to switch things up. Thank you for sharing!

  • This recipe looks really good. We always have lots of rhubarb growing in the garden, so I'm always on the lookout for new recipes to use it in.

  • Do you have the nutritional information for these?

  • Are there nutritional facts about this recipe? I need protein, carbs, fat and fiber. I might have missed this info….

    • Sorry, but I don't share nutrition facts for my recipes because I'm anti calorie counting. If you'd like to calculate it yourself feel free!

  • I have a question about the ingredients. It says 1/4 cup Almond Breeze Almondmilk Unsweetened Vanilla. Is this vanilla or almond milk? I made the recipe last night and put a 1/4 cup of vanilla in and it worked great, except the loaf stuck to the bottom of the pan! :(

    • That's vanilla flavored almond milk!
