Fresh Strawberry Bread is a moist, tender quick bread loaded with juicy strawberries and a touch of sweetness. Perfect for breakfast, snacking, or dessert, it’s a simple and flavorful way to enjoy fresh berries.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1/2 cup milk or buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil (or melted butter), milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Toss strawberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent sinking.
  • Add lemon zest for a fresh citrus flavor.
  • Top with a lemon glaze for extra sweetness and visual appeal.
  • This recipe also works well as muffins—bake for 18–22 minutes.
  • Use half whole wheat flour for added fiber with a slightly denser texture.
