Here is a classic Strawberry Bread recipe — simple, moist, and flavorful — written clearly and without emojis.
Strawberry Bread Recipe
Ingredients
-
1½ cups fresh strawberries, hulled and finely chopped
-
1¾ cups all-purpose flour
-
¾ cup granulated sugar
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon baking soda
-
½ teaspoon baking powder
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional but recommended)
-
2 large eggs
-
½ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter, slightly cooled)
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
¼ cup sour cream or plain yogurt (adds moisture)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
-
Prepare the strawberries:
Place the chopped strawberries in a small bowl. Lightly toss them with 1–2 teaspoons of flour to help prevent them from sinking during baking. Set aside. -
Mix dry ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon. -
Combine wet ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil (or melted butter), vanilla extract, and sour cream (or yogurt) until smooth. -
Combine wet and dry mixtures:
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix. -
Fold in strawberries:
Add the floured strawberries and fold them in carefully with a spatula. The batter will be thick. -
Bake:
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. -
Cool:
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Optional Glaze (for extra sweetness)
-
½ cup powdered sugar
-
1–2 tablespoons strawberry puree or milk
-
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Whisk until smooth and drizzle over the cooled loaf.
Would you like me to include a fresh strawberry glaze version instead of the simple one?
