Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Fresh strawberries
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
• 0.25 cup Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

Wash and hull the fresh strawberries, then chop them into small pieces. Toss the chopped strawberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking in the batter. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using). Whisk well to ensure even distribution.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and well-combined.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing as this can make the bread dense.

Step 6

Lightly fold in the prepared strawberries using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan, spreading it evenly with the spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Enjoy your Donna's 'How Could You' Strawberry Bread with a cup of tea, coffee, or simply on its own!
