Best Berries for Berry Bread
What I love most about this recipe is that you can use whatever berries you have on hand in this recipe. We used three different kinds (hence the triple-berry), but you can you 1 kind, 2 kinds or 5 kinds!
- Blackberries
- Strawberries
- Raspberries
- Blueberries
- Cherries
Watch out for this–> Try your berries before you use them! Some berries may be really tart! If your berries are super tart, feel free to add a little extra maple syrup to balance out the sweet + tart!
Can I use frozen berries?
Frozen berries are an excellent choice! Feel free to swap in frozen triple berries or any kind of frozen berries.

Everything You Need to Know
Though this breakfast bread is super easy to make, here are a couple of questions you may have, ANSWERED!
Do I have to use an 8×8-inch pan for this bread?
We do recommend using an 8×8-inch pan for this bread! You could try a 9×9-inch or loaf pan, but the bake time would change so you would need to keep a very close eye on the bread!
What do I top berry bread with?
You can top your breakfast bread with anything you fancy! Here are a couple of great options!
- Nut butter (cashew, peanut butter, almond)
- Greek yogurt
- Coconut whip
- Fresh berries
- Granola
Can I substitute the berries with a different fruit?
If you don’t have berries, feel free to substitute chopped apples!
Can I freeze breakfast bread?
Yes, you can freeze breakfast bread! We recommend letting the bread cool completely before wrapping it in plastic wrap to seal out air and then tin foil!
The breakfast bread can last up to three months in the freezer.

Absolutely delicious for a “healthy alternative”. Use the whole wheat flour — it adds a nice depth of flavor that would have been lacking if it I had used AP flour (Target has some in their Good and Gather brand for only a few bucks). Instead of triple berries, I only used blueberries, and I used the suggested alternatives of mashed banana, and honey. I thought these all added a nice subtle sweetness to to the bread. I also used a 9×5 loaf pan instead of a 8×8 pan and it worked well, it just needs a much longer bake time. I baked it for at least 65 minutes and then baked it in 3-5 minutes increments until it was fully baked. I’ll be making this one again for sure!
This recipe is delicious! My fiance loved it (that’s a win in my book)!
Definitely a win!!
This recipe is perfectly balanced. I have made many things similar to this in nature, and often times they come out heavy and stodgy at the bottom- but most likely because this recipe doesn’t use any oil, it’s hearty and filling, but also spongy, buoyant and delicious!
The only thing I might change next time is to add something more to sweeten it up, such as banana instead of apple sauce like the author suggested, or a sprinkling of sugar on top. Thanks so much for this recipe! My kids also liked it as is so that was a plus!
Wow, we’re blushing! Thanks so much for this review, Lauren <3
Great healthy breakfast. Whole family liked it. Was looking for a healthy way to use some too tart berries from the farmers market. Delicious with a little honey. Subbed in regular milk and cooked in an 8×10 pan – otherwise followed directions as shown.
Glad you guys loved this recipe!
I just made this and it was delicious!! I also love that it’s so healthy! I can’t wait to try some more of your recipes
This is an awesome idea–both my father and husband (who like light breakfasts) really like this. I made this with a number of changes: chopped loquats instead of berries, einkorn flour instead of white whole wheat, 2% milk instead of almond, and full fat Greek yogurt instead of nonfat. Because I used einkorn flour, I had to use a slightly heaping tbsp of baking powder instead of 1/2 tsp and reduced the applesauce to 1/4 cup instead of 1/2 cup. However, after all these small changes, I ended up with something very tasty that looked very similar to the pictures.
Thanks so much for sharing your modifications!
hit in our house! I must have done something wrong along the way because the middle did not cook at all. Oops! User error 🤣
Mine didn’t cook in the middle either! I put it back in after it cooled so I guess we will see what happens. The tooth pick came out clean so who knows what I did wrong
This was delicious. I topped it with a cup of the Chobani less sugar Greek yogurt and some extra berries. Super satisfying breakfast.
Made this tonight and it was fantastic! What’s the best way to store it?
We suggest storing it in the fridge!
This recipe it’s amazing, really nice way to eat something different and healthy for breakfast!!
I made this today and it was delicious! I did make a few changes and used 1 cup regular flour and a 1/2 cup whole wheat flour and used a 9×9 pan. It only took 30 min to cook. So yummy!
Glad you loved it!
This breakfast was a real crowd pleaser! Easy, breezy to make and I’m all thumbs when it comes to baking. I subbed in pantry: all purpose white flour, gluten free rolled oats, used a thawed frozen banana, and frozen triple berry mix from Costco.
I’ll be making this again for sure!
YAY!! So glad the fam loved it <3
HI I work in aged care in Austalia. We have some gf residents that would love this. Can you suggest a gluten free option pls
You can use a gluten-free all-purpose blend and then certified rolled oats!
I made this today with frozen berries and it was delish! Thanks for the recipe!
