Fresh Strawberry Bread

Right now, we are just doing a ton of baking! This Fresh Strawberry Bread is made with fresh strawberries and tastes like a delicious dense muffin.  It makes for a delicious breakfast or snack for days. Of course- I enjoy it with a little bit of butter and jam. Yummy!

I love recipes that help contribute to no food waste- especially right now! I guess that is all recipes though, depending on what you have on hand. I had leftover strawberries that were pretty ripe and needed to use them. We are never really great with eating breakfast so I like having muffins, breakfast bread, and premade items to grab quick. I like this recipe because it doesn’t require a ton of fancy ingredients; it has a clean simple flavor and is light enough for breakfast or a snack.

They key to this strawberry loaf bread is coating the strawberries in flour- this helps them so that they stay in the middle of the bread and don’t sink. I don’t quite understand the science of it-but it is the same concept when you make blueberry muffins.

After mixing the strawberry bread ingredients and adding in the flour coated strawberries, bake it in a loaf pan (I used a 9×5) for 45-50 minutes. Allow it to fully cool before taking it out of the loaf pan (I have learned this the hard way in the past and if you don’t allow it to fully cool, it will be a crumbly mess when you go to remove it!).

To top it off, I like to add a nice thick white icing…Almost like the kind you get on a Starbucks Lemon Loaf! Of course, this is optional and you may just prefer it without icing. If you want to add some ‘pizazz’, you could add some red sprinkles or even dehydrated strawberries as a garnish! Trader Joes sells dehydrated strawberries, they are a fun baking addition.

This bread works well with fruit other than strawberries- you could definitely use whatever you have on hand. Some ideas!

  • Blueberries
  • Raspberries
  • Peaches
  • Blackberries
  • Cranberries (during holiday season!)
  • Apples

If you enjoy fresh Spring flavors- let me recommend some of our favorites, including some featuring strawberries!

  • Strawberry Cheesecake Popsicles
  • Strawberry Icebox Cake
  • Strawberry Spinach Salad
  • Fresh Raspberry and Almond Cake
  • Skinny Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Treats

Here’s to easy, simple and delicious recipes…yum! Stay healthy, happy and safe everyone. <3 – Rachel

    This looks yummy and is on my list to make. Now I need to get a little serious. It’s getting hard to stay creative cooking with the lack of supplies in our local stores. last week I was in a cooking rut. I love your blog so I decided I would make every dinner last week with your recipes. I must of had an angel on my shoulder because I was able to find all the ingredients I needed. I cooked a great meal every night and had leftovers for lunch the next day. Everything was delicious. I just wanted to thank you both for being there for us all with cooking help and great inspiration. Take care and be safe.
