Ingredients
 
 

  • 2½ cups All purpose flour
  • 1¼ cups Granulated sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 pinch Salt (if using unsalted butter then add ¼ teaspoon of salt)
  • 1 cup Butter (cut in pieces)
  • ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ¾ cup Milk (I use 2%)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 2 cups Medium chopped strawberries (toss with 1 tablespoon flour)

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 375F (190). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. 
  • In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar and baking powder add the butter and combine to form coarse crumbs (not too big pieces). Transfer ¾ cups into a small bowl and stir in the cinnamon. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl beat with a fork the milk, eggs and vanilla until well combined, add to the flour mixture just until combined (about 15 stirs), gently fold in the strawberries.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, sprinkle with the crumb mixture. Bake 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached. Let cool in the pan 15-20 minutes then move to a wire rack to cool completely. 

Notes

To avoid the strawberries from sinking, toss them in flour before adding them to the batter. 
This recipe can be adapted to make muffins as well: Spray or line a muffin tin with liners. Prepare the recipe as directed. Bake for 25-30 minutes, starting to check for doneness at 25 minutes. 
This bread can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
You can also freeze individual slices for a grab and go snack or the loaf as a whole. Wrap slices or the entire quick bread with plastic wrap. Place in a freezer safe bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or defrost from frozen in the microwave.
