1 large egg plus 3 large egg whites, room temperature, lightly beaten

1-1/4 cups vegetable oil

2 cups chopped fresh or frozen strawberries

4 Add the egg, egg whites and oil, and stir until just moistened.

5 Stir in the mix-ins

6 Fold in the chopped strawberries and nuts. Editor's Tip: If you use fresh berries, clean them right before chopping and folding into the batter (don't wash them as soon as you get home from the store or farmers market). Our guide to how to clean strawberries details a few of the best methods.

7 Transfer the batter to the loaf pans

8 Spoon the batter into two greased 8x4-inch loaf pans.

9 Bake the strawberry bread

10 Bake for 70 minutes or until the bread tests done. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Editor's Tip: Not sure if your loaf is done? You can check the internal temperature for the perfect bread.
