Description

This moist and flavorful Strawberry Bread recipe is a delightful twist on traditional quick bread, packed with fresh strawberries and topped with a sweet strawberry glaze. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dessert, this bread balances the natural sweetness and tartness of strawberries with a touch of cinnamon and creamy Greek yogurt.

Ingredients

Bread Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter (softened)
  • 2 1/2 cups roughly chopped strawberries
  • 1/4 cup 2% milk
  • 1/4 cup plain fat free Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Glaze Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup pureed fresh strawberries
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the right temperature by the time your batter is ready.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the granulated sugar and softened butter together on medium speed until light and fluffy, which creates a smooth base for the batter.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually incorporate half of the chopped strawberries, milk, Greek yogurt, and eggs. Mix just until everything is combined to avoid overmixing.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and kosher salt to evenly distribute leavening agents and spices.
  5. Mix Dry Into Wet: With the mixer still on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, beating just until blended to maintain a tender crumb.
  6. Fold in Remaining Strawberries: Gently fold in the remaining chopped strawberries using a spatula to evenly distribute without breaking them down.
  7. Prepare Loaf Pan and Bake: Pour the batter into a 9×5 inch metal loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool Bread: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes on a wire rack; then remove it from the pan and cool completely on the rack to prevent sogginess.
  9. Prepare Glaze: While the bread bakes, whisk together the pureed fresh strawberries, powdered sugar, and heavy cream until smooth to create a luscious strawberry glaze.
  10. Glaze Bread: Pour the glaze evenly over the cooled bread and allow it to sit for 20 minutes so the glaze can set properly, enhancing flavor and appearance.
  11. Serve: Slice the strawberry bread and serve. This bread is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a couple of days.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and yogurt with non-dairy alternatives and use a dairy-free butter substitute.
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
  • The glaze can be adjusted in sweetness by varying the amount of powdered sugar.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting off.
  • Store leftover bread at room temperature wrapped tightly or in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
