ingredients

1 ¹⁄₂ cups fresh strawberries, sliced
1 cup granulated sugar, divided
1 ¹⁄₂ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¹⁄₂ teaspoon baking soda
¹⁄₄ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs
¹⁄₂ teaspoon vanilla extract
¹⁄₂ cup butter, melted

directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease and flour a standard glass (8x5") loaf pan.
Rinse, core and slice the strawberries; place in a small bowl and sprinkle with 1/2 cup sugar.
In a large mixing bowl, blend together the remaining sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs until foamy, then add the vanilla and melted butter. Make sure the melted butter isn't too hot-just barely melted.
Stir in the strawberries. Combine the two mixtures, blending until the dry ingredients are moistened.
Scrape the batter into the pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes before removing the bread from the pan.

Excellent quick bread! Chopped the strawberries as others had done, and enjoyed it warm with butter for breakfast Will definitely make again when I have about-to-go-off strawberries.

Very tasty! After reading the other reviews, I used 1/2 whole wheat and half AP flour and substituted half the butter for plain fat free yogurt. I used nine (previously fresh) frozen strawberries that I microwaved to room temp. again, and I mashed them up with a fork like you would for a banana and get great results, ie no chunks. I will be having this for dessert/ breakfast w/ a little dab of whipped topping I think! Thanks for a great recipe.

I love this! I followed the recommendation of other reviewers and chopped up my strawberries, leaving a few sliced for a few bigger chunks. I added some wheat germ and replaced half the butter with unsweetened apple sauce. It came out delicious and moist. A new favorite... thanks for sharing!
