Strawberry Bread recipe that’s perfect for a sweet breakfast or a light dessert!
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
1/2 cup plain yogurt (or sour cream)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries (diced)
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional, like walnuts or pecans)
For the Glaze (optional):
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp milk or lemon juice
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal. - Prepare the dry ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. - Prepare the wet ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth. - Combine the wet and dry ingredients:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (do not overmix). Gently fold in the diced strawberries and nuts (if using). - Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil. - Cool:
Let the strawberry bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. - Optional glaze:
While the bread cools, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk (or lemon juice), and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread.
Enjoy your sweet and fruity Strawberry Bread! It’s perfect on its own or served with a cup of coffee or tea.
