This quick bread recipe delivers an incredibly moist and tender loaf packed with fresh strawberries. It uses a simple one-bowl method for easy preparation and finishes with a sweet strawberry glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk or whole milk
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon strawberry puree or milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set this dry mixture aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This takes about 2 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Alternate adding the dry ingredient mixture and the buttermilk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix only until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the diced fresh strawberries using a spatula.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Prepare the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar and strawberry puree (or milk) until smooth. Add more liquid, a half teaspoon at a time, if the glaze is too thick.
  11. Drizzle the strawberry glaze over the cooled bread. Let the glaze set before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Toss the diced strawberries lightly in one tablespoon of the reserved flour mixture before folding them into the batter. This step helps prevent the berries from sinking to the bottom of the loaf.
  • If you do not have buttermilk, mix 1/2 cup of milk with 1/2 teaspoon of white vinegar or lemon juice and let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • This tender fruit bread freezes well once completely cooled and before glazing.
