Strawberries & Cream Bread

Once strawberries show their heads at farmer's markets, I am quick to jump to them but they don't last long at all once you have them in your grasp. Quickly they start to shrivel or mold and nothing breaks my heart more then having to throw away something I waited all year for because I didn't eat them fast enough.
Last night I caught a glimpse of a big handful of strawberries that were on their last leg, past the point of just eating them plainly so I decided to make a sweet quick bread to utilize them before I lost them forever.

Moist quick bread studded with fresh strawberries and toasted hazelnuts, great for breakfast or even sliced and toasted with some butter and jam.
