Move over banana bread, this strawberry loaf with strawberry glaze is going to convert you! This summer bread will win you over.
But really, this loaf made is made with lots of fresh strawberries and is perfectly tender. I love to even add strawberry “hearts” on top right before baking to really make this bread stand out.
This strawberry loaf is so moist and with the glaze, you do not have to worry about a dry bread. But before you get baking, here are some helpful tips to successfully make this delicious bread.
I totally get that baking can be a bit unpredictable – it’s kind of like a dance with your oven where timing is everything. So, keep an eye on your bread and remember, every oven is a little different. You definitely don’t want to overdo it. Pull it out just when it sets, and you’ll have that perfect loaf you’re aiming for.
Fresh strawberries are the absolute best choice for this recipe – no contest. If you’re stuck with frozen, don’t worry; simply defrost them first and then slice them into perfect bite-sized pieces. Trust me, it’ll turn out great.
The glaze makes this bread so moist! But it can mean that will not last as long at room temperature. To extend the self life, you can store this bread in the fridge for 3-4 days in a air-tight container.
Listen up, because I’m about to change your baking world! Lay down that parchment paper in your bread pan with all the love you’ve got. It’s not just a step—it’s the secret to a blissfully easy cleanup! Your future self will thank you, passionately!
And there you have it! It truly warms my heart to share this strawberry loaf with you. My family cherishes every slice, and I genuinely hope it brings as much joy to your table as it does ours.
