1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 large eggs, beaten

3/4 cups canola oil

1 cup sugar

1 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered

3/4 cups chopped pistachio nuts

 

1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Spray a 9- x-5- x 3-inch loaf pan with butter flavored cooking spray and dust with flour. Tap out excess.

2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, and sugar. Fold in the strawberries and pistachios. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

3. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, and then invert on to a wire rack and let cool completely before slicing (or wrap in foil and store at room temperature).
