Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 large egg
- 0.75 cup milk
- 0.33 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
- 0.5 cup confectioners' sugar (for optional glaze)
- 2 tablespoons milk (for optional glaze)
- 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract (for optional glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In a medium bowl, beat the egg. Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, and whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the diced strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the optional glaze, whisk together confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled bread.
Slice and enjoy the luscious strawberry bread with or without the glaze!
