This turned out to be SO yummy! Great for a snack or for breakfast with some cheesy eggs!

My big helper girl!

Note: This makes TWO loaves

Ingredients:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 3/4 cups frozen sweetened strawberries, thawed
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 1/2 cups canola oil

Topping:

• 1/4 cup frozen sweetened strawberries, thawed, with syrup
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tablespoon strawberry extract

-Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 5x9 inch loaf pans.

-In a bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, beat together the 1 3/4 cups strawberries, eggs, sugar, and oil. Gradually beat the flour mixture into the strawberry mixture. Transfer to the prepared loaf pans.

-Bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a loaf comes out clean.

-In a saucepan, mix the 1/4 cup strawberries with syrup, sugar, water, and 1 tablespoon strawberry extract. Bring to a boil, and stir constantly until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Drizzle over the bread while still warm.
