Indulge in the vibrant flavors of strawberry bread, where diced strawberries provide bursts of sun-kissed sweetness.

Creamy textures from milk, oil, and egg, along with aromatic vanilla or almond extract, elevate the experience.

The luxurious glaze, featuring diced strawberries in a velvety mixture of powdered sugar, melted butter, and cream, encapsulates the essence of ripe berries.

You’ll need:

For The Bread:

• ¾ cup of granulated sugar
• ½ cup of milk
• ½ cup of oil
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract
• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons of baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon of salt
• 2 cups of diced strawberries
• 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour

For The Glaze:

• 2 cups of powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter
• ⅓ cup of finely diced strawberries
• 4 tablespoons of heavy cream or milk
• ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract

Substitutions And Additions

LEMON: Strawberry recipes always pair well with the tangy flavor of lemon. Add a bit of lemon juice or lemon zest to your bread batter for a nice tart addition.

MILK: To accommodate dairy-free diets, almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk can replace regular milk, offering a subtle nutty or tropical undertone. Keep in mind that flavors might vary slightly.

GLAZE: Get creative with the glaze by using different berry flavors. Substitute raspberries or blueberries for a new twist.

You can also drizzle melted white or dark chocolate for an indulgent finish.

How To Make This Strawberry Bread Recipe

This bread is as easy as making the bread batter before baking and topping it with the sweet strawberry glaze. Let’s get started.

STEP ONE Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar, ½ cup of milk, oil, egg, and vanilla extract.

STEP TWO: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. 

STEP THREE: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.

STEP FOUR: In a small bowl, toss together the strawberries and the 2 tablespoons of flour to coat the strawberries.

STEP FIVE: Fold the floured strawberries gently into the batter.

STEP SIX: Pour the bread batter into a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan. 

STEP SEVEN: Bake for 50 to 55 minutes on the middle rack of your oven. A toothpick inserted in the center of the bread should come out clean. 

STEP EIGHT: Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes in the bread pan, then remove the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.

STEP NINE: To make the simple strawberry glaze, combine the powdered sugar, melted butter, diced strawberries, milk, and extract in a small bowl. Mix until it is smooth.

STEP TEN: Once the bread is cool, spread the glaze on top of the bread. Slice and serve.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

Bread

• ¾ cup granulated sugar

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 cups strawberries, diced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Glaze

• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• ⅓ cup strawberries, finely diced
• 4 tablespoons heavy cream, or milk
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, or almond extract

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar, milk, oil, egg, and vanilla.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
• In a small bowl, toss together the strawberries and the 2 tablespoons of flour to coat the strawberries.
• Fold the floured strawberries gently into the batter.
• Pour the bread batter into a greased 9×5-inch bread pan.
• Bake for 50 to 55 minutes on the middle rack of your oven. A toothpick inserted in the center of the bread should come out clean.
• Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes, then remove the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.
• To make the glaze, combine the powdered sugar, melted butter, diced strawberries, milk, and extract in a small bowl. Mix until it is smooth.
• Once the bread is cool, spread the glaze on top of the bread. Slice and serve.

Notes

• Make sure to let cool fully before glazing.
• Place the bread on a wire rack before pouring the glaze on top so that any excess glaze will run through the rack rather than leaving a puddle around your bread.
• Be very gentle folding in the strawberries to minimize streaking in the bread or crushing the berries.
• Coating the strawberries in flour will help keep them suspended in the bread while baking, so you will have a nice distribution throughout.
