I am Alex, and I am happy you are here. This recipe delivers an incredibly moist, tender strawberry bread made easily in one bowl. It is packed with fresh strawberries and topped with a simple, sweet strawberry glaze. This quick bread is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a simple dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons strawberry puree or milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set this dry mixture aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy. This is the start of your one-bowl method.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Alternate adding the dry ingredient mixture and the buttermilk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix only until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
  6. Gently fold in the diced fresh strawberries using a spatula.
  7. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
  8. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Prepare the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar and strawberry puree (or milk) until smooth. Add more liquid, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach a thick but pourable consistency.
  11. Once the bread is completely cool, drizzle the strawberry glaze over the top. Let the glaze set before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • To prevent the strawberries from sinking to the bottom, gently toss the diced berries with one tablespoon of the flour mixture before folding them into the batter.
  • If you do not have buttermilk, mix 1/2 cup of regular milk with 1/2 teaspoon of white vinegar or lemon juice and let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • This bread keeps well stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
