This is such a wonderful recipe! It was given to me on a handwritten card at my wedding shower by my dear friend Val! The addition of the oats adds such a nice texture and flavor to this bread. I love this recipe because it is simple to make and looks beautiful, especially served with the Whipped Strawberry Butter below.
If you happen to have some strawberries in the fridge that just didn’t last as well as you’d expected they would, this is a perfect way to use them! I have tried this bread with blueberries as well, it was just as delicious!

I made this for mother’s day and it was delicious! I only had 1 1/2 cups of strawberries so I used 1/2 cup of applesauce to supplement. For the butter I combined butter, strawberries jelly and a touch of vanilla. Still a delicate and tasty tea bread.
Yummy Kim! That sounds so delicious.

Hi Susan,
Thank you for stopping by. You can use a potato masher, a very large serving fork or a muddler.
