Here’s a delicious Strawberry Bread recipe—sweet, moist, and perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert. 🍓🍞
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, chopped
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup buttermilk (or milk + 1 tsp lemon juice)
Optional Topping:
- 2–3 tbsp coarse sugar for sprinkling
- Glaze: ½ cup powdered sugar + 1–2 tbsp strawberry juice or milk
Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
- Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt
3. Cream Butter & Sugar
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy
- Beat in eggs, one at a time, then add vanilla extract
4. Combine Wet & Dry
- Add dry ingredients in batches, alternating with buttermilk, mixing gently
- Fold in chopped strawberries carefully to avoid turning the batter pink
5. Bake
- Pour batter into prepared pan
- Sprinkle coarse sugar on top if desired
- Bake 55–65 minutes (or until a toothpick comes out clean)
- Cool in pan 10–15 minutes, then transfer to wire rack
6. Optional Glaze
- Mix powdered sugar and strawberry juice or milk until smooth
- Drizzle over cooled bread
Tips
- For extra flavor, add 1 tsp lemon zest
- Use frozen strawberries thawed and drained if fresh aren’t available
- Serve plain, toasted with butter, or with cream cheese
If you want, I can also give a moist gluten-free strawberry bread version with a cream cheese swirl, which tastes almost like a strawberry dessert cake.
Do you want me to do that?
