Fresh Strawberry Bread Is Moist, Sweet, and Delicious!

Strawberry Bread is a HUGE favorite in my house! Somehow it seems more special than banana bread, but it’s just as easy and perfectly delicious! Plus, it’s basically a cake that we call bread, so you’ll feel fine about eating it for breakfast. At least that’s the rationalization I use when I’m slicing a piece at 7:00 am.

Soft, moist quick bread is loaded with fresh strawberries and topped with a sweet strawberry cream cheese icing. This can be made relatively quickly and can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature!

How To Make Strawberry Bread

This is a Quick Bread recipe that doesn’t require yeast, much like banana bread! All you need are a few simple ingredients, a loaf pan, and you’ll have a loaf of Strawberry Bread in about an hour!

Ingredients:

• strawberries
• flour
• butter
• granulated sugar
• eggs
• vanilla extract
• baking powder
• kosher salt
• milk

Can You Use Frozen Strawberries?

Yes you can! You will need to thaw out the strawberries, pat them dry and then chop them up!

Tips On Making Strawberry Bread:

1. Coat the strawberries in a little flour, this will help prevent the strawberries from sinking to the bottom!
2. You can line the baking pan with parchment paper instead of just greasing the pan. This will help removing the bread from the pan even easier. I recommend coating the pan with nonstick spray first, then cutting a piece of parchment paper into a strip that covers the bottom and up the two long ends of the pan (which makes it easier to lift out). Place the parchment into the pan and then coat everything again with more spray!
3. Turn the pan halfway through baking to make sure it bakes evenly!

Do You Have To Top This With Icing?

Nope you don’t have to at all! Coating this with icing is just an extra step to make it even more special! The Strawberry Cream Cheese icing is absolutely amazing! Plus, it’s only 3 ingredients!

• pureed strawberries
• cream cheese
• powdered sugar

Can You Freeze Strawberry Bread?

Yes you absolutely can! Just wrap it in plastic wrap really well, wrap it again in foil and then freeze it for up to 30 days for best freshness!
