Description
Soft, fruity strawberry bread bursting with real berries — fresh, sweet, and perfect for spring or brunch.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- ¾ cup sugar
- ½ cup oil
- ½ cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
Fruit
- 1 cup diced strawberries
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is ready for baking the bread once the batter is prepared.
- Prepare Strawberries: Lightly toss the diced strawberries in a small amount of flour; this helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the bread during baking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla until fully combined and smooth.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Fold in Strawberries: Carefully fold the floured strawberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking them down.
- Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Top with strawberry glaze for extra flavor and a beautiful finish.
- Use frozen strawberries (thawed) when fresh strawberries are not in season to maintain flavor and moisture.
