Preparation

- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes
Check doneness early at the 50-minute mark. Allow the bread to cool completely before glazing for the best results. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
