Equipment

Ingredients
Main Ingredients
For the Bread:
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup 2% milk
- 1/2 cup canola oil or coconut oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or almond extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups diced strawberries
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
For the Glaze:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/3 cup finely diced strawberries
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or almond extract
- 1-2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF (180ºC).
- In a medium bowl, mix together 1 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of milk, 1/3 cup of oil, the egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
- In another bowl, combine the 2 cups of flour, baking powder, and salt. Add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
- In a small bowl, toss the diced strawberries with 2 tablespoons of flour. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the bread. Gently fold the floured strawberries into the batter.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9"x5" bread pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, melted butter, finely diced strawberries, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add a splash of heavy cream or milk to achieve your desired consistency.
- Once the bread is completely cool, spread the glaze generously over the top. Feel free to sprinkle some chopped nuts or additional strawberries on top for extra flair!
- Slice and serve. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
Feel free to add chopped nuts or a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top for extra flavor and texture.
