Make this easy, moist strawberry bread using fresh strawberries. This quick loaf comes together in one bowl and finishes with a simple strawberry glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon milk or lemon juice (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  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 turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of milk or lemon juice until smooth. Add more liquid, a few drops at a time, if needed to reach a drizzling consistency.
  11. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For the best texture, gently fold the strawberries into the batter last.
  • If you prefer a lemon glaze, substitute lemon juice for the milk in the glaze recipe.
  • You can use frozen strawberries, but thaw them first and gently pat them dry before adding them to the batter.
