Cherry Bread is an easy quick bread that you can serve as a snack cake or breakfast treat. It’s made with fresh cherries just like our Homemade Cherry Cake, but don’t worry – if you can’t find fresh, you can make this bread with dried cherries or even frozen cherries so you can make it all year round.
I love when I find fresh cherries at the store. The season is short (usually late spring to mid-summer), so it’s always special to buy a big batch and then use them to make all kinds of baked goods like quick bread, cakes, muffins, cherry crumb bars and this easy fresh cherry bread. Or why not try this Simple Yogurt Bread recipe if you have leftover yogurt in your fridge.
Well, that is if we can resist eating all of the cherries straight from the bag. It’s a good idea to hide them if you plan to bake with them. At our house, they will disappear in no time if they are left out.

If you’re not a big cherry fan like us though, this strawberry bread might be something you’d prefer making, unless citrus is your go-to flavor, then I suggest you try this Orange Bread!
If you can only make one thing with the cherries you find, it should be this bread. It’s easy to make with just a few ingredients, and the cherries are the star. Every bite has a sweet and tart flavor.
I love this bread with fresh fruit, but you can make it with dried or frozen cherries, too. That means you don’t have to wait for cherry season. You can make it whenever you want a soft, delicious sweet bread bursting with cherry flavor.
Crazy Delicious Healthy Cherry Orange Pistachio Bread
Fresh cherries: There are over 1000 varieties of cherries – so many I can’t name them all! The availability will depend on where you are from, so I suggest picking one that you enjoy eating. Some are sweeter, while others are more tart.
Frozen cherries: If you want to use frozen ones, thaw them first, drain the excess liquid, and pat them dry. You want them dry, so you don’t have extra liquid in your bread.
Dry cherries: Yes, you can even make dried cherry bread. Depending on how large they are, you might want to roughly chop them first. Also, you can add them straight to the batter, but if they are very chewy, I recommend soaking them first and then pat them dry. This will plump them up. You can do this in water or try a liqueur if you would like a boozy kick.
Cinnamon Bread With Cherries And Almonds
To test them: Mix a teaspoon of baking powder with a bit of hot water, if it bubbles then it’s ready to be used. For the baking soda, mix one teaspoon with a few drops of lemon juice or vinegar. It should produce bubbles.
Once you have your cherries, it’s time to make the bread. You will need to grease and flour a loaf pan and pre-heat the oven.
Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt with a whisk, add the chopped butter and mix to form a coarse crumbly mixture. Remove and set aside 3/4 of a cup of this mixture – you will use it for the crumble topping. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, and vanilla.
Best Dried Cherry Bread Recipes
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. It’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
Fold in the cherries and pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the topping over the top and bake the bread for about an hour.
Once the cherry bread is completely cool, wrap it tightly with plastic wrap, and it will keep at room temperature for up to three days.

Recipe: Rye Toasting Bread With Dried Cherries & Pumpkin Seeds
The easiest and best way to avoid sunken bread is to use a cooking thermometer to check the inside of the loaf. Fully cooked bread will register 200°F on a thermometer. My all-time favorite thermometer is the Thermapen. It’s super fast and incredibly durable. Another great cooking thermometer is the ThermoPop which is a more basic version that works just as well!
I bake a lot of bread and the pans I prefer are either ceramic, glass or cast iron. These pans will bake bread more evenly and release the bread more easily after baking. I don’t like using dark or nonstick pans because the bread cooks unevenly. It darkens on the outside before the bread is cooked on the inside, so the coloring is uneven.

Sugar: With 1 cup of sugar we can make sure that this bread turns out nice and sweet with a caramelized crust around the edges.

Eggs: We will be using 2 eggs as the binder for this bread recipe. They also help with the leavening to produce a nicer crumb.
Milk: You can use 1 cup of dairy milk or even a non-dairy milk like almond milk (I do not recommend soy for this recipe).
Flour: You can do as I did and use 2 1/4 cups bread flour or even use half whole wheat flour/half regular.
Cherry Loaf Recipe
Dried Cherries: 1 cup of chopped dried cherries will give us enough to scatter throughout the batter and make every slice speckled with cherries!
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a large bread pan and then line it with parchment paper if you’d like. I like lining the bread pans with parchment when I bake sweet breads because it helps them come out very well!
If you’re dying to make this bread taste even sweeter, drizzle it with a vanilla glaze made from 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 TBSP melted butter, 1/2 tsp vanilla, and 1-2 TBSP milk.

Looking to cut down on some fats and make this delicious quick bread a little more diet friendly? I’ve got you covered! With just a few swaps you can have a better-for-you bread loaf! Simply switch out half of the requested flour for whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose or bread. This adds a little more grain. You can also use half applesauce and half oil instead of the full oil amount. The milk can also be switched for almond milk, but I can promise that soy milk will not work well with this recipe. With any of these simple changes you can easily create a lighter loaf!
Almond Cherry Bread Recipe
Yes, you can. While the almond flavor tastes incredible, you can opt to use vanilla extract instead. It won’t taste the same in the end, but you can bet that it still tastes great.
After your bread has completely cooled, keep it stored in an airtight container or a plastic bag where it can be sealed and safely stored at room temperature. You can also freeze it or store it in the fridge if you choose, but it does just fine at room temp.
If properly stored at room temperature, cherry nut bread can last up to a week on your counter. You may be able to extend the shelf life a few more days by keeping it in the fridge. You can also freeze it to have it last up to 6 months.
