Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1.5 cups Fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (optional)
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, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Gently fold in the diced strawberries to coat them with the dry ingredients (this prevents them from sinking during baking).
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Avoid overmixing—it's okay if there are small lumps in the batter.
If using, fold in the chopped nuts for added texture and crunch.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice and serve the strawberry tea bread on its own or with a smear of butter or cream cheese. Enjoy!
