Full of juicy, sweet, and perfectly ripe berries is this moist and yummy STRAWBERRY BREAD! Perfect for breakfast or brunch and anytime-of-the-day snack.
2cupsfresh Strawberries,rinsed, dried and coarsely chopped, then rolled in flour mixture
Optional Lemon Glzae
2 cupsconfectioner’s sugar (powdered sugar)
1-2tablespoonsLemon juice, amount depends on the tartness and thickness of the glaze that you prefer so feel free to adjust.
3tablespoonsfresh strawberry puree,or to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven 350F.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside about 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture to coat the strawberries.
Lightly beat the eggs in a separate bowl. Add the sour cream and stir. Add the sugars and mix until everything is smooth and nicely blended. Pour in the oil and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Gently mix just until blended. Fold in 1 1/2 cups of strawberries rolled in flour mixture.
Spoon into the loaf pans (I use 2 8 x 4 loaf pans). Sprinkle the left-over strawberries (1/2 cup remaining) on top. Gently push into the mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.
Optional Strawberry Lemon Glaze
Place the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and strawberry puree in a mixing bowl. Mix until it reaches a smooth and pourable consistency. You can adjust the taste and thickness to your liking.
Notes
TIPS & TRICKSUse any neutral-flavored oil.Reserve 1/2 a cup of the berries to use as a topping. Roll the rest of the strawberries in 1 tablespoon flour. This ensures the strawberries don't sink to the bottom of the loaf.
