How to Make Strawberry Bread
-
Preheat & Prep:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your loaf pan(s) or spray with nonstick baking spray. -
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. -
Add Wet Ingredients:
Pour in the vegetable oil, beaten eggs, and vanilla. Stir until combined. The batter will be thick. -
Fold in Strawberries:
Gently stir in the diced strawberries just until evenly distributed. -
Pour & Bake:
Divide the batter between prepared pan(s). Bake according to pan size (see below) until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. -
Cool:
Let loaves rest in the pan for 10–15 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Pan Sizes & Bake Times
Pan Size | Yield | Bake Time |
---|---|---|
9×5-inch loaf pans | 2 loaves | 55–65 minutes |
Small loaf pans (6×3″) | 6 small loaves | 35–45 minutes |
Mini loaf pans (3.25×2.5″) | 12 mini loaves | 25–30 minutes |
✅ Tip: Test doneness with a toothpick. A few moist crumbs are okay—wet batter means more time!
Tips & Tricks
-
Strawberry Prep: Dice berries small—too large and they’ll create mushy pockets in the bread.
-
Cooling is Key: Don’t rush to remove the bread from the pan! Let it sit 10–15 minutes so it holds its shape.
