Strawberry Tea Bread with Whipped Strawberry Butter

It is time to make some strawberry recipes.  Today I made a strawberry tea bread recipe that I found on Pinterest.  I make a strawberry bread that is similar but, it didn't include oats and it had more oil in it. 

So for the taste test...Son #1 comes in and this is the serving he took out of the first loaf right out of the oven.  I look at him and he says, "What?" ..."I want a piece in the middle."  Then Son #3 comes in from school and he drops everything goes right to the bread and grabs the small end of this loaf and starts shoving it in his mouth at the counter....  The other end of the loaf is still there, Son # 2 was too worried about his car bumper to fool with eating at the moment!  So, I guess they liked it...no complaints. 

Ingredients:

Strawberry Tea Bread 
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon aluminum free baking powder
3 eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup cannola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups of crushed strawberries ( crush, then measure)

Whipped Strawberry Butter
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons confectioners sugar
1/4 cup crushed strawberries, room temperature

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Prepare two 9x4 loaf pans with baking spray.  
Combine flour, oats, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a large bowl, set aside.
In a second bowl, beat eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla.  
Pour egg mixture into dry mixture and stir until almost combined.  Add strawberries and stir until just combined.  Do not overmix.
Pour batter into prepared pans and bake 40-45 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.  Cool 5-10 minutes in pan.  Turn out onto cooling rack and let cool completely.
