Fresh

It’s finally summer in Vermont and that means that our farms have fresh strawberries available again! I love going strawberry picking. It’s great exercise and nothing tastes better than fresh strawberries!

Easy Strawberry Banana Bread

Every year, the kids and I head to our favorite pick your own strawberry farm to stock up on fresh strawberries. It’s one of the first fruits available here in rural Vermont (besides the rhubarb growing in our yard).

Strawberry picking has always been one of the highlights of spring. It’s like a reminder that the snow is finally gone and the warm weather is here to stay. I’ve always made a ton of strawberry recipes.

As much as I love fresh strawberries, I really enjoy having a slice of quick bread for dessert (or even breakfast). It’s a yummy treat that’s easy to make and relatively inexpensive.

Easy Strawberry Bread

Unlike pies, there’s no crust to roll out. And, it doesn’t need frosting like a cake. Just mix everything in a bowl and bake. That’s my kind of easy cooking. This strawberry bread recipe is a huge hit at my house.

This is a relatively healthy strawberry bread because it doesn’t have a glaze or chocolate drizzle on top. Yes, it uses sugar.

But, if you slice the pieces thinly, there’s no reason you cannot enjoy this treat. And, you can always toss in a handful of flax seeds to give it an added boost of nutrition.

Cinnamon Applesauce Bread With Self Rising Flour

If you’re really hoping that this is a chocolate strawberry bread recipe, you can always add a handful of chocolate chips. I’d recommend dark chocolate chips because the sugar and fat content is lower.

You could also add carob chips instead of chocolate if you prefer. Or, drizzle a tiny bit of melted chocolate chips over the top of your warm strawberry bread for a delicious treat.

Because this recipe uses eggs, it’s not vegan. But, you can make it a vegan strawberry bread recipe by simply using an egg replacer in place of the eggs.

Strawberry Banana Oatmeal Bread (gluten Free, Dairy Free Option)

You would need 1/4 cup mashed banana or applesauce in place of each egg. So, that is a total of 3/4 cups for 3 eggs. Using banana is an easy way to make this strawberry banana bread recipe.

We store this strawberry bread in the refrigerator wrapped in aluminum foil because it really only lasts a few days before it’s gone. If you plan on having it last longer than that, I would cut it into slices and freeze half of the slices until you need them.

That way, it will stay fresh as long as possible. If you’re going to freeze strawberry bread, use freezer bags to be sure it doesn’t get freezer burn.

Strawberry Applesauce Bread Pudding

I often enjoy fresh strawberry bread as a dessert. And, when that’s the case, I have it with a little bit of real butter. But, if you want to have this for breakfast, you could have it with a bowl of Greek yogurt and a cup of coffee.

It’s so easy to turn this into a gluten-free strawberry bread recipe. All you need to do is use a gluten-free flour mix like this one in place of the 3 cups of all-purpose flour.

Gluten-free cooking can be challenging. So, I always look for a one for one flour mix substitution. It’s so much easier that way.

If you like quick bread, you may want to try my lemon maple zucchini bread. It’s a delicious way to use up all that zucchini from the garden.

One Bowl Vegan Strawberry Banana Bread (w/ Gluten Free Option)

Starting your morning with sweet strawberry bread is sure to put a smile on your face and brighten the rest of your day. Leftovers freeze well too, which means you can always have this spring or summer strawberry treat on hand.

Strawberry Lemon Bread: Replace one third cup of the water in the recipe below with lemon juice. Stir in one tablespoon of lemon zest.

Chocolate Chip Strawberry Bread: Add half a cup of mini chocolate chips or white chocolate chips to the batter, and sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top.

Easy Banana Applesauce Bread Recipe (no Mixer!)

Strawberry Banana Bread: Use this recipe for Healthy Banana Bread, stirring up to two thirds cup of diced strawberries in before baking. Press a few strawberry slices on top if you wish.

Strawberry Nutella Bread: Stir half a cup of toasted chopped hazelnuts into the batter before baking the strawberry loaf. Top with Homemade Nutella.

You will need strawberries, water, pure vanilla extract, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, optional almonds or walnuts, oil or almond butter, and cinnamon.

Strawberry Bread Recipe From H E B

Different types of flour that work include white all purpose flour, whole grain spelt flour, or oat flour. Coconut flour is not recommended because it will yield dry results. Feel free to experiment with other flours I have not tried in this healthy loaf recipe, such as whole wheat pastry or almond flour.

The recipe is naturally dairy free. To make vegan strawberry bread with no eggs, either omit the optional egg or use a flax egg and oil or plant based butter.

Strawberry

For a low carb and sugar free strawberry bread, try this Keto Lemon Bread. Feel free to stir a half cup of diced strawberries into the batter before baking.

Strawberry Loaf Cake

Use certified gluten free oat flour for gluten free strawberry bread. Some all purpose gluten free flour brands may also work here.

To avoid dense or gummy results from too much moisture, I recommend using either fresh berries or frozen strawberries that have been thawed fully. After thawing, dry off excess moisture with paper towels if using frozen berries.

You can also use chopped dried strawberries if you do not have fresh or frozen available. Slowly add more water or oil if needed.

Strawberry Sour Cream Bread

Make a simple strawberry glaze by combining one third cup of powdered sugar with a teaspoon of water and a tablespoon of finely diced strawberries. Add more water if needed to thin out the strawberry icing.

This berry quick bread is so soft and sweet on its own that I often skip the glaze or frosting entirely and serve it plain instead.

Stir the first five ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Then stir in all remaining ingredients except the sliced strawberries to form a batter. Do not overmix.

Strawberry Cream Cheese Bread Recipe

Bake the strawberry loaf on the center rack of the oven for one hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.

Let the bread cool before going around the sides with a knife and inverting the loaf cake onto a large serving plate.

If you can wait, the taste and texture are even better the next day. After some moisture evaporates, the bold strawberry flavor becomes more concentrated.

Cinnamon Applesauce Bread

If you wish to use a food scale to make the recipe instead of cups and tablespoons, here are the amounts to use:

230 grams of diced strawberries, 240 grams each of water and flour, 150 grams of sugar, 36 grams of oil, and 10 grams of pure vanilla extract.

The strawberry cake bread can be left out on the counter overnight, loosely covered with a cloth or paper towels. This will allow excess moisture to escape so the loaf stays light and fluffy.

Unsweetened Strawberry Applesauce

I recommend storing leftovers after a day in the refrigerator in a covered container for optimal freshness. Leave a tiny opening at the top so moisture can get out. The strawberry recipe should stay good for up to four or five days.

Or you can slice leftovers and freeze in an airtight covered container for up to three months. Sandwich layers of wax or parchment paper in between each fresh strawberry bread slice so the slices do not stick together when thawing. Thaw frozen slices in the refrigerator overnight or in a microwave, oven, or toaster oven.
