Equipment
- 9x13 loaf pan
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup olive oil (or coconut oil)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or honey, agave)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1 cup cold milk
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
For The Glaze
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp heavy cream
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 cup chopped strawberries
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5″ loaf pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
- For The Batter : In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar, milk, oil, egg and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. In a small bowl, toss together the chopped strawberries and the 1 tablespoon of flour to coat the strawberries. Fold strawberries into the batter.
- Pour the bread batter into a greased 9″x5″ bread pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center of the bread should come out clean. Allow the bread to cool for 30 minutes, then remove the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For The Glaze : Mix together powdered sugar, fresh, chopped strawberries, melted butter and vanilla extract in a bowl. Mix until smooth. Use heavy cream or milk to make the glaze more spreadable. Although it's optional, it makes a great consistency of the glaze.
- Once the bread is cool, spread the glaze on top of the bread. Slice and serve.
