Description
Make a moist, easy strawberry bread in one bowl. This quick bread uses fresh strawberries and finishes with a simple strawberry glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons strawberry puree or juice (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and strawberry puree until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled bread.
Notes
- For the best results, gently toss the chopped strawberries with 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture before folding them into the batter. This helps prevent them from sinking.
- If you prefer a lemon glaze, substitute the strawberry puree with 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice.
- You can use frozen strawberries, but do not thaw them before adding them to the batter.
