Strawberry Bread
Description
The recipe combines flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and a granulated sweetener whisked together, while in another bowl, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract are beaten and then folded into the dry ingredients. Fresh chopped strawberries and toasted pecans provide moisture and texture within the bread.
Baked in greased and floured loaf pans, the bread is baked until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cooling in the pan precedes glazing with a mixture of confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream, which is applied over the cooled loaf to add sweetness and a smooth finish.
This strawberry bread is suitable for serving at breakfast, as a snack, or dessert. Mini loaves or a single larger loaf can be made depending on preference and portion sizing.
The recipe suggests either one 9"x3" loaf pan or three mini 5"x3" pans can be used. Baking times adjust accordingly, with mini loaves requiring less time than a large loaf.
