Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat two 9x5-inch loaf pans with cooking spray.

In large bowl, with electric beater on low speed, beat strawberries, sugar, oil, and eggs until well mixed. Add 2-1/2 cups flour and continue beating until well combined.

In small bowl, toss pecans with remaining 1/2 cup flour then stir into strawberry mixture (see Note). Pour into prepared loaf pans.

Bake 55 to 60 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool slightly then remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes:

Mixing pecans with flour helps to keep the pecans floating in batter so they don't fall to the bottom of bread when baking.

This bread is wonderful topped with a smear of cream cheese. Strawberry cream cheese is especially good!
