What’s in this Strawberry Bread Recipe?
A warm vanilla-almond quick bread is studded with fresh strawberries and coated in a sweet vanilla glaze for the perfect breakfast treat!
All-Purpose Flour: Gives the bread structure. Milk: Adds moisture to the cake and helps thin the glaze to drizzling consistency. Lemon Juice: Mixes with the milk to create an approximation of buttermilk, which adds moisture and tanginess to offset the sweetness of the berries. Baking Powder: Gives the bread lift. Kosher Salt: Enhances the vanilla, almond, and strawberry flavors. Granulated Sugar: Sweetens the bread. Unsalted Butter: Adds flavor and fat to the bread. Vegetable Oil: Helps the bread stay moist. Eggs: Give the bread structure. Vanilla Extract: Enhances the sweetness of the bread and glaze. Almond Extract: Adds a nutty flavor to the bread. You can leave it out if you prefer. Fresh Strawberries: Every bite of this dessert bread is bursting with juicy, sweet, and tart strawberries. Powdered Sugar: Sweetens the glaze without making it gritty.
Pro Tip: To use frozen strawberries, thaw the berries overnight in the refrigerator, then pat them dry with paper towels before using in this recipe.
Strawberry Banana Bread
This quick strawberry bread recipe is excellent as is, but it also tastes divine with bananas. Not your typical banana bread per se, this version of strawberry banana bread includes sliced or diced bananas as part of the inclusions. Swap up to half of the strawberries by weight for bananas!

Store leftover strawberry bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Enjoy cold or at room temperature.
How to Freeze
Freeze strawberry bread whole or cut into individual slices tightly wrapped in 2 layers of plastic wrap and 1 layer of aluminum foil for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before enjoying.
Serving Suggestions
This fresh strawberry quick bread is a delicious breakfast or after-dinner treat. Serve it alongside an iced coffee, pineapple matcha, or Starbucks’ pink drink.
