This strawberry bread recipe is a soft and moist quick bread made with fresh strawberries and simple pantry ingredients, perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease or line 1 loaf pan, 4 mini loaf pans, or a muffin pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the vegetable oil, milk, egg, and vanilla extract, then mix until just combined.
Fold in the chopped strawberries until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s).
Bake in the 350°F oven for 65 minutes for a large loaf, 35 minutes for mini loaves, or 25–30 minutes for muffins.
Check for doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center. If it comes out clean, the bread is ready.
Allow the bread to cool briefly in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
Toss the diced strawberries with 1 tablespoon of flour before folding them into the batter to help prevent sinking.
Do not overmix the batter; stir just until combined for the best texture.
Use firm, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
