Ingredients

2 large eggs
½ cup oil
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
1.5 cups all-purpose flour Note 1
1 (10-oz) bag frozen strawberries thawed and diced (NOT drained! Use as much of the juices as possible!!) (Note 2)

Instructions

Prep: 
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with baking parchment.
Combine wet ingredients and spices:
 In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Evenly sprinkle the baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon and salt on top and whisk in until fully combined.
2 large eggs, ½ cup oil, 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 ¼ teaspoons baking powder, ¼ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon salt
Fold in flour and strawberries: 
Add the flour and fold in using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon just until combined - mixture will be thick (Note 3). Add the strawberries and fold in until the batter is an even consistency.
1.5 cups all-purpose flour, 1 (10-oz) bag frozen strawberries
Bake: 
Spread in the prepared pan and bake at 350°F for 50-60 minutes (loosely cover with foil after 40 minutes if the top gets too dark), until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out without raw batter attached to it. If the strawberries were not fully thawed, it will take longer to bake!
Cool: 
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Note 1: The flour measures as follows: 1.5 cups scooped OR 1 ¾ cup PLUS 2 tablespoons spooned and leveled OR 230g weighed with a kitchen scale.
Note 2: If using fresh strawberries, toss them with a spoonful of sugar after slicing and let them sit until they release 2-3 tablespoons of juices.
Note 3: At this point, the picture will feel more like a cookie dough. Don't add any liquid! After adding the strawberries, it smooths out into the perfect consistency!
