Sweet, fruity, and delish Strawberry Bread is the perfect breakfast, snack, or dessert. This quick bread recipe is packed full of fresh strawberries and topped with a sweet, melt-in-your-mouth glaze.
Quick bread with strawberries
And just to be clear, this isn’t banana bread with strawberries. It doesn’t have bananas in it. It’s a quick bread (meaning it doesn’t have yeast or requires time to rise). I chopped the strawberries small, so there wouldn’t be large chunks that sink to the bottom. This bread also has cinnamon, which pairs well with the strawberries.
Remember, when preparing quick breads, do not over-mix the batter. Mix the wet ingredients. Then, add the dry ingredients and stir until they are combined.
Now, before you add the strawberries, dust them with flour. This will prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf. Gently fold the strawberries into the batter and pour it into your prepared loaf pan.
Coat your pan with solid vegetable shortening and either flour or sugar or Wilton Cake Release. Or, you can line the pan with parchment paper.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 20 minutes before turning it out on a wire rack to cool completely.
Ingredients
- all-purpose flour
- baking powder
- salt
- ground cinnamon
- granulated sugar
- eggs beaten
- whole milk
- vegetable oil
- strawberries fresh or frozen, chopped
Glaze
Strawberry Bread
You can use fresh or frozen strawberries. Frozen strawberries tend to be cheaper, and I like the convenience of them.
Naturally sweetened and irresistibly tender, you’ll enjoy how easy this bread is to make. You’ll enjoy even more how much your family enjoys it!
Because it bakes in a large loaf, it takes approximately 50 minutes to bake. However, you can make them into muffins to cut down on that baking time. Regular-size muffins will cook in about 20 minutes.
Either way, Strawberry Bread is ah-mazing with Strawberry
How long do I bake strawberry bread?
Just like I’ve said when baking pound cakes, baking time varies depending on the size of your loaf pan, whether it’s light or dark, and if it’s a glass or metal pan. I baked this loaf for 50 minutes. Test it beginning at 45 minutes, but be careful when opening the oven door, and try not to open it too often. That will let the heat out.

OH this sounds amazing! I love strawberries!!
The strawberry Bread was good but tool a lot longer to bake. Next time I am going to use two loaf pans.
Agreed. My loaf pan was full to the top, which is probably why it needed to bake so long (about 20+ minutes). I was thinking about using a 9×9 pan instead of the loaf.
Same problem with baking time.
