Sweet and tender fresh strawberry bread with a fruity glaze! Easy to make and perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a snack.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8-10 slices 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ½ cup chopped strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup confectioner sugar
  • 3 tablespoons crushed strawberries
  • 1 teaspoon milk

Instructions

  • Prep your pan and preheat the oven.
    Heat your oven to 350°F and line your loaf pan with parchment paper. Leave a bit of overhang so you can easily lift the bread out later.
  • Mix the dry ingredients.
    In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons of baking powder. This keeps the leavening agents evenly distributed.
  • Add the wet ingredients.
    Pour in ½ cup milk, ¼ cup vegetable oil, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 large egg. Stir gently until everything is just combined. Overmixing can make the bread tough, so less is more!
  • Prep the strawberries.
    Toss 1 ½ cups of chopped strawberries with ¼ teaspoon sugar and 1 tablespoon of flour. This step keeps the berries from sinking to the bottom while baking.
  • Fold in the berries.
    Gently fold the strawberries into the batter with a spatula, then pour it into your prepared pan. Smooth the top with your spatula.
  • Bake to golden perfection.
    Pop the loaf in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool completely.
    Let the bread cool in the pan for 30 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Trust me, cutting too soon will crumble your loaf (been there, done that).
  • Drizzle the glaze.
    For the glaze, whisk together 1 cup confectioner’s sugar, 3 tablespoons crushed strawberries, and 1 teaspoon milk. Drizzle it generously over the cooled loaf. It’s optional, but oh-so-worth it.

Notes

How to serve it (and make it shine)

This strawberry bread is beautiful on its own, but a little extra effort makes it truly shine. Serve it sliced on a platter with a dusting of powdered sugar for a rustic look. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices and a sprig of mint for a pop of color. Pair it with a dollop of whipped cream or a smear of cream cheese if you’re feeling indulgent. It’s also lovely toasted and served with a pat of butter for breakfast.
