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)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 3

Gently fold in the diced strawberries to coat them with the dry ingredients (this prevents them from sinking during baking).

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

If using, fold in the chopped nuts for added texture and crunch.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a 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

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.

Step 10

Slice and serve the strawberry tea bread on its own or with a smear of butter or cream cheese. Enjoy!
