Ingredients
For the bread:
1 cup plus 1/3 cup strawberries, cut into small pieces
4 tablespoons basil, chopped
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup butter, room temperature
¼ cup vanilla almond milk creamer (or milk of choice)
½ tsp vanilla extract
For the glaze:
1 cup confectioners sugar
5 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
1. Using the paddle attachment on an electric mixer, cream together butter and sugar in an electric mixer at medium speed.
2. Slowly add eggs, one at a time, mixing at a low speed.
3. Carefully add in creamer and vanilla extract, and continue to mix at a low speed.
4. Add in the dry ingredients, very slowly so that it doesn't blow out of the bowl; this includes the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
5. Add the basil and strawberries; mix in gently by hand with a rubber spatula.
6. Add this mixture to a bread pan that's already been coated with flour and butter to prevent the bread from sticking to the pan.

To make the glaze:
Sift confectioners sugar into a bowl. Add lemon juice and lemon zest, whisking until smooth
