How to Make Strawberry Bread

This quick bread is fruity, moist, and not-too-sweet. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, for snacking, or to wrap up for a gift!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 3 cups flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1 tbsp cinnamon
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 1 1/4 cup oil
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1 16-oz pkg frozen strawberries, thawed

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour two loaf pans (for larger loaves) or three loaf pans (for medium loaves, as in the photo above).

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the first five (dry) ingredients, then make a well in the center.

3. Add the eggs and oil, and mix thoroughly. Stir in pecans and strawberries with the juice. (Fresh berries may be used, but add a bit of apple juice for moisture.)

4. Divide the batter evenly into greased and floured loaf pans. Bake at 350 F for 60 minutes (for two loaves) or 40 minutes (for three loaves). Bread is done when toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.

5. Allow to cool, then loosen the sides with a knife before removing from loaf pans.

Tips & Warnings

• Strawberry bread can be baked ahead of time and even frozen if desired.
