Ingredients

• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup milk
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• 2 cups strawberries, diced
• 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour (for coating strawberries)
• 2 cups powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 2 Tbsp butter, melted (for glaze)
• ½ cup strawberries, diced (for glaze)
• ½ tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. Set it aside while you prepare the batter.
2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Step 3: Add the salt and baking powder to the wet mixture. Slowly stir in the 2 cups of flour just until combined—avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
4. Step 4: Toss the diced strawberries with 2 tablespoons of flour to prevent sinking. Gently fold these strawberries into the batter.
5. Step 5: Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Step 6: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before adding the glaze.
7. Step 7: To make the glaze, combine the powdered sugar, melted butter, diced strawberries, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Stir until smooth and fully combined.
8. Step 8: Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled bread. Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving.

Tips & Variations

• Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor, or substitute frozen diced strawberries (thawed and drained) if fresh aren’t available.
• For a more intense strawberry flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
• If you prefer a thicker glaze, add less milk or powdered sugar as needed to reach your desired consistency.

Storage

Store the glazed strawberry bread covered at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap tightly and keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat slices in the microwave for 15-20 seconds if desired.

Can I use frozen strawberries in this recipe?

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

For the Bread

• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup milk
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• 2 cups strawberries, diced
• 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour (for coating strawberries)

For the Glaze

• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 Tbsp butter, melted
• ½ cup strawberries, diced
• ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and set it aside.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar, milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk these together until fully combined and smooth.
3. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the salt and baking powder to the wet mixture. Gradually add the all-purpose flour, stirring just until everything is combined to avoid overmixing, which can make the bread dense.
4. Prepare Strawberries: Toss the diced strawberries with 2 tablespoons of flour. This step helps prevent the strawberries from sinking to the bottom of the bread during baking.
5. Incorporate Strawberries: Gently fold the floured strawberries into the batter, ensuring even distribution without breaking up the berries too much.
6. Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and smooth out the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool the Bread: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely to room temperature.
8. Make the Glaze: In a bowl, combine powdered sugar, melted butter, diced strawberries, and vanilla extract. Stir until the glaze is smooth and well combined.
9. Glaze the Bread: Once the bread is completely cool, drizzle the strawberry glaze evenly over the top. Let the glaze set slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

• Coating the strawberries with flour is essential to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the bread while baking.
• Make sure the bread is completely cooled before drizzling the glaze to avoid melting it.
• The glaze with fresh diced strawberries adds extra moisture and strawberry flavor, but for a smoother glaze, you can blend the strawberries before mixing.
• Store leftover bread covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
