Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
- Mix dry ingredients in one bowl: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Whisk wet ingredients in another bowl: melted butter, eggs, and vanilla.
- Pour the wet mix into the dry mix. Stir just until they come together. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chopped strawberries and the nuts if you use them.
- Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes. A toothpick in the center should come out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then move it to a wire rack and cool fully before slicing.
Notes
For best flavor, use fresh, ripe strawberries. Wrap cooled bread in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days at room temperature.
