Sugar – 3/4 cup
Egg – 1
Sour cream – 2 tsp
Whole milk – 1 cup

Steps to prepare Fruit Bread

Step I

• In a bowl, add chopped strawberries, peaches, 2 tsp of sugar, mix well and keep it aside for 15 minutes or till you prepare the batter.
• This is done so that the juices are released from the fruit.

Step II

• Preheat the oven to 350 degree F. Grease the baking pan.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the egg and sugar until they are combined.
• Now whisk together sour cream, whole milk, vanilla extract and vegetable oil.
• Add in the dry ingredients – all purpose flour, cinnamon powder, baking soda, salt and gently mix so that there are no lumps. Do not over mix the batter.
• Now fold in the strawberry, peach mixture.

Step III

• Bake for about 50 minutes to 1 hour or until done. That is toothpick or knife inserted comes out clean. My oven took exactly 55 minutes to bake this.
• You can place an aluminum foil half way through to avoid the top from developing dark brown color.
• Allow it to cool down completely even before you slice them.
• Fruit Bread is now ready. Serve and enjoy.

Tip:

• Use any fruit combination of your choice.
• You can also substitute vegetable oil with butter or coconut oil. I have used oil in the recipe because it keeps the bread softer.
• You may vary the amount of sugar depending on the sweetness of the fruit.
