→ For Glaze

15 - 2 teaspoons whole milk
16 - ¼ teaspoon vanilla
17 - ½ cup powdered sugar

# Instructions:

01 - Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread out the diced strawberries on a baking tray and roast for 20 minutes. Pull them out, leave them aside, and reduce the oven to 350°F (175°C).
02 - Stir the oat flour, whole wheat white flour, salt, shredded coconut, and baking soda together in a big bowl.
03 - In a separate medium bowl, lightly whisk the eggs. Add Greek yogurt, applesauce, almond extract, vanilla, coconut oil, and maple syrup. Keep stirring until smooth.
04 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry mix. Stir until there are no dry spots.
05 - Carefully fold the roasted strawberries into the batter so they’re evenly spread.
06 - Coat your loaf pan with some nonstick spray. Pour in the batter and layer slices of strawberries on top. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 55 minutes, or until a toothpick poked in the middle comes out dry.
07 - Take the from the oven and let it sit in the pan for 5 minutes. Move it to a cooling rack and let it cool off completely before slicing.
08 - In a small mixing bowl, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until it’s smooth. If needed, tweak the consistency by adding extra sugar or milk.
09 - Put the cooled loaf on a wire rack over parchment paper. Drizzle the glaze over it so it drips along the edges. Wait for the glaze to set, then slice it up and enjoy.

# Notes:

01 - Roasting the strawberries helps bring out their natural sweetness and avoids the bread getting soggy by removing excess juice.
02 - To make this wheat-free, use a gluten-free flour blend in place of the listed flours.
03 - Cut the loaf into slices and freeze for up to 3 months. Let it thaw at room temperature before eating.
