This was a really simple recipe and the bread turned out really moist. My loaves were a little underdone even though the toothpick came out clean, I think because I used the lowfat sour cream it was too watery. The cinnamon was a little overpowering so next time I will reduce the amount. I gave some to my parents and in-laws and they loved it. All in all a great way to use strawberries.

This recipe is amazing! I have used it with strawberries and with blueberries, I have used an equal mixture of wheat and white flour, I have done the yogurt sub for sour cream...I have accidentally mixed things out of order...this recipe has turned out wonderfully every time. I had to make this once a week every week last summer, sometimes as muffins, and I make it often now as well. Really a recipe that will stay in my cookbook and get passed down. FANTASTIC!

Delicious bread! I've made it several times and I always use plain low fat yogurt instead of sour cream and 1 1/2 cups of strawberries.I like mine a little sweeter so I sprinkle brown sugar on top of the bread before baking.It always turns out very moist and has a wonderful flavor.

My DH decided he wanted to bake (I of course have to leave any area of my kitchen--can you imagine?) So i gave him this recipe, because it sounded good and I had strawberries to use. I did have him increase the strawberries to 1 cup as recommended by others and the 65 minutes of baking was fine. So very good. Thanks Marie. I'm sure he'll add this to his own list of recipes like "Eggs Benedict" Very good. (we even used low fat sour cream with no probs)
