Strawberry Bread
Moist, tender, and packed with fresh strawberries, this easy strawberry bread is a lightly sweet, flavorful treat perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon snack.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries diced (about 10–12 medium strawberries)
- Optional: ¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans or ½ cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment for easy removal.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla and Greek yogurt (or sour cream) until creamy.
- Gently stir dry ingredients into wet until just combined. Fold in strawberries—and nuts or white chocolate chips, if using.
- Pour batter into the pan and smooth the top. Bake 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. Cover with foil if browning too fast.
- Cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice and enjoy plain or with butter, whipped cream, or honey.
