Strawberry Blood Orange Bread

One thing that hasn’t slowed at the end of pregnancy is my urge to bake. I guess why not while I can, right? Last week, Chobani Greek yogurt sent me 12 of their three new flavors to sample and tell you about. They came out with Apple Cinnamon, Blood Orange, and Passion Fruit. I have been raving about Chobani for a few years now, and am glad they are expanding their flavors and becoming so popular.

I actually like the Vanilla flavor best and rarely buy the other flavors. But since they sent me some…I’ll try them. With 12 yogurts to eat, I used one of them to bake something.

I reviewed their site and Pinterest, my new favorite place to find recipes, and decided to adapt one of their recipes to use the new flavor (Blood Orange) and a more seasonal fruit (strawberries in place of cranberries).

This is quality control from the back end of the loaf. No one will know…

I loved so many things about this bread. Let me tell you:

  • It was so easy to cook–just two bowls and a spatula and measuring tools. No fancy mixers.
  • I had all the ingredients in the house already (Thanks Cho).
  • It was so soft on the inside, thanks to the yogurt.
  • No butter or oils.
  • Has a great gooeyness from the strawberries and yogurt and a nice bite from the nuts.
Now obviously, you can trade out the Blood Orange for the Plain or Vanilla yogurt flavor, but since I had it, I wanted to bake with it.
