Strawberry Lime Breakfast Bread

I'm always looking for a delicious way to incorporate healthier ingredients into my baking, but it isn't always easy. It is far easier to just throw in butter, oil & eggs into the batter than to take the time to find healthier, lighter substitutes. Luckily, this recipe is a no brainer. I replaced all purpose flour with whole wheat flour, and it not only made the bread more healthy, but also gave it a nuttier flavor. I then substituted nutrient rich Greek yogurt for the typical butter or oil. The result is an incredibly moist bread that weighs in at under 100 calories per slice. And with the addition of fresh strawberries & lime zest, the flavor is as sweet as some of our more guilty worthy breakfast breads. Enjoy!
