Strawberry Bread

I love to bake a variety of different breads during the year, and Strawberry Bread is always a hit.

The kids enjoy it for breakfast, with meals, snacks, and often ask for a slice just before bed.

It’s also quite versatile in that you can substitute in most any berry to change things up a bit.

I love to visit our local farmers market on a regular basis, and depending on what berries are featured, I can swap them in and out so we have a loaf of fresh, fruity bread on hand at any time.

I also purchase extra to freeze, so we can enjoy them throughout the year.

I try to donate my extra loaf of bread to a friend, neighbor, or send to school for the teachers to enjoy in the lounge, from time to time.

It also does well if you slice and bag in individual slices for bake sales or concession stands.

Just be sure to label that it does contain nuts (pecans), or simply leave those out if you are avoiding them due to an allergy.

To begin, gather all of the ingredients necessary to make the recipe. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 9 x 5” loaf pans. Slice strawberries and place in medium-sized bowl. Coat strawberries with sugar and set aside while preparing batter. Combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt and baking soda in a large bowl; mix well. Blend oil and eggs into strawberries.

Add strawberry mixture to flour mixture, blending until dry ingredients are just moistened. Stir in pecans. Divide batter into pans. Bake in preheated for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of each loaf comes out clean.
