Hummm  Sounds very tempting.
Have you tried it Okarol??

No, haven' made it yet, but we love banana bread and zucchini bread so this sounds like a good alternative. Maybe we will make some if I see strawberries soon, it's a little early for tasty ones, although sometimes we get them from Mexico and they are yummy..
