Strawberry Cream Cheese Bread

I still had some strawberries that I needed to use up before they got funky.  It was a toss-up between this recipe and baked donuts.....and the unofficial FB poll voted on the bread. I'm glad it was the winner because it's really a great bread. Try it!!!

STRAWBERRY CREAM CHEESE BREAD

Makes 10 Servings

1 Serving = 4 PointsPlus™

1/2 cup (1 stick) light butter, softened
1 cup Splenda granulated
3 oz. Neufchatel cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup fat-free egg substitute
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup fat-free milk
1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped

 

Preheat oven to 350º. Spray a 9x5” loaf pan.

In a large bowl, cream the butter, Splenda and cream cheese until fluffy/creamy. Slowly add the egg substitute. Mix in vanilla.

In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Blend this with the butter mixture until just blended. Add the milk and stir until JUST blended – do NOT over stir!!!

 

Drain the berries and blot dry. Carefully fold them into the dough. (Dough will be thick)

Spread into the 9x5” loaf pan and bake for 50 – 60 minutes.
