Strawberry-Nut Bread (Southern Living 1979)

I made this bread for a double baby shower.  It wasn't a huge hit, but there were so many other tasty things that I think this bread was easily overshadowed.  Little Man tried it tonight, though, and said it was awesome.  :-)

I knew there would be plenty of other food at the shower, so I decided to half the recipe for only one loaf.

Strawberry-Nut Bread (Adapted from Southern Living 1979)
1.5 cups white whole wheat flour
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1/2 T ground cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup plain yogurt
2 T canola oil
1 cup fresh strawberries, cut into chunks about 1/2-in in size
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Combine dry ingredients.  Add eggs, applesauce, yogurt, oil, strawberries, and pecans.  Stir just until all ingredients are moistened.
Spoon batter into well-sprayed 9-x 5- x 3-inch loaf pan.  Bake at 350F for 60 minutes.  Cool in pan 5 minutes; remove to wire rack to cool.
