Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh strawberries
- Optional: 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (for added warmth)
Optional Additions
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans for a crunchy bite
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips for a fun twist
- Glaze topping: Mix 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 1–2 tablespoons milk and drizzle over cooled bread
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
- In another bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in oil, milk, and vanilla.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix.
- Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
