The Best Fresh Strawberry Bread Recipe

Last week, I bought a pint of strawberries and, I swear, they were one of the sweetest I’ve had…and it’s not even peak season yet! I’ll be making lots of my Strawberry Chicken Salad and fresh Homemade Strawberry Milk. But for today, this beautiful strawberry bread takes center stage!

To ultra tender and flavorful strawberry bread is using buttermilk. It adds the perfect amount of moisture, while keeping it ultra tender and light. In my opinion, buttermilk works better than milk or yogurt for this particular recipe.

This strawberry bread is the perfect recipe to use up all the fresh strawberries that this season is going to bless us with!

The secret to baking tender and moist is using buttermilk, which is really great at giving baked goods a perfectly tender and moist texture, while keeping it light at the same time. It also adds a delicious, slightly tangy flavor to baked goods!

This strawberry bread recipe requires buttermilk. I’ve tested it with milk and yogurt, and buttermilk ALWAYS yields a more tender and delicate loaf, which is perfect to let the strawberries shine. Additionally, this recipe calls for baking soda only, so you need an acidic component (buttermilk) for it to rise properly.

DYI buttermilk: If you forgot to buy buttermilk, you can make your own at home! All you need is whole milk and vinegar. Here’s how: For every 1 cup of whole milk, mix in 1 tablespoon vinegar. Stir and let it sit for about 5 minutes until thickened and curdled.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the taste that butter gives to baked goods, but quick breads always turn out better with oil. With oil, the bread will be lighter with more separated crumbs. On the other hand, quick breads made with butter tend to be more like pound cake.

The full list of ingredient quantities can be found in the recipe card down below, but I wanted to share a ingredient notes I took while testing this recipe:

Transfer the prepared batter to a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan. Top with more diced strawberries, gently pushing them down into the batter but letting them still be visible for aesthetics.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 60-65 minutes. After 40-45 minutes, cover with foil to prevent it from browning too much. Return to oven and continue baking. The strawberry bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

I get this question a lot when it comes to baking in general. The answer is almost always to avoid opening the oven too early or too often during the baking process, as drastic changes in temperature will cause baked goods to collapse.

Let the bread cool completely. Wrap tightly with 2-3 layers of aluminum foil and transfer to a freezer-friendly bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.

Fresh Strawberry Bread

This recipe requires buttermilk. I wouldn’t recommend using just milk in this recipe because of the baking soda, which needs an acidic ingredient (buttermilk) to react and rise properly.

Strawberry

Yes! Here’s how: Pour 1 tablespoon of white vinegar into a 1-cup measurer. Then fill the cup with milk. Give it a stir and let it sit for 5 minutes. It will slightly curdle.

I’d recommend using vegetable oil for all quick breads. Oil yields a lighter texture with more “separated” crumbs than butter does. With butter, it will be more like a pound cake.

Easy Healthy Strawberry Bread • The Fresh Cooky

It’s very simple to use this recipe to make strawberry muffins. This recipe will make about 8-10 muffins. Prepare as written. Spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

It’s absolutely delicious as-is but we love to use it as a base for a slightly different version of strawberry shortcake. We top a slice with sweetened strawberries and whipped cream. So good!

This strawberry quick bread isn’t overly sweet. It has a nice contrast of flavor with the cinnamon since it really brings out the strawberry flavor. If you would like it to be sweeter, you could always make a simple glaze for the top by mixing together powdered sugar, milk and a little strawberry extract.

Yes. It freezes really well. Just wrap the bread well in plastic wrap then in aluminum foil. It will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Preheat oven to 350F degrees and place the oven rack in the middle position. Spray the bottom and sides of an 8-cup loaf pan (9x5x3 inch) with nonstick cooking spray. I like the nonstick spray that has flour in it. In the bowl of your electric mixer, or with a hand mixer, beatthe butter until softened, about 1 minute.

Add the sugar and continue to beat until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

There is nothing like a fresh summer strawberry. Strawberries are one of the fruits that you can usually find in the grocery store year round, but they will never be as good as they are in the summer. Juicy and sweet – you just have to take advantage of them when they are good.

One recipe I’ve been making every summer for years now is this Strawberry Bread. It really highlights the sweetness of the berries and really tastes like summer. The addition of cinnamon brings in a little warmth, but this recipe truly screams summer!

Store any leftovers wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in a container with a lid. You can keep it at room temperature for a day, but I suggest storing it in the refrigerator so that it doesn’t get mushy.

I have tried this bread in mini loaf pans, small loaf pans, as well as traditional sized loaf pans. I really do love the mini loaves, but it works well with every size. Guidelines for each size of pan are below:

Mini Loaf Pans: My mini loaf pan has 8 cavities, and each loaf is 3.28″x2.5″. This recipe will make 12 mini loaves, and they will bake for approximately 25-30 minutes.

Small Loaf Pans: These pans are often called mini pans, but they are
