Ingredients

  • Fresh strawberries, chopped
  • All-purpose flour
  • Granulated sugar
  • Baking powder
  • Salt
  • Eggs
  • Buttermilk (or plain yogurt plus a splash of milk)
  • Unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • Vanilla extract
  • For the glaze:
  • Powdered sugar
  • Lemon juice (or milk, for a milder glaze)
  • Optional: a bit of vanilla extract or lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat eggs with buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently stir until just combined—don’t overmix.
  5. Fold in the chopped strawberries, taking care not to crush them too much.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top.
  7. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If the top browns too fast, loosely tent with foil for the last 10–15 minutes.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. To make the glaze, whisk powdered sugar with lemon juice (or milk) until smooth and thick but pourable. Stir in vanilla or lemon zest if desired.
  10. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled loaf, letting it run down the sides. Slice and serve.

Notes

  • Gluten-free: Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and check doneness—might bake a few minutes longer.
  • Banana-strawberry: Replace half the buttermilk with mashed banana for banana-strawberry flavor.
  • Citrus twist: Use orange juice and zest in the glaze instead of lemon.
  • Streusel topping: Combine flour, sugar, butter, and oats to sprinkle on top before baking for a crumbly streusel.
  • Yogurt swirl: Drop spoonfuls of flavored yogurt into the batter and swirl gently before baking.
  • For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze slices individually for up to 2 months. To refresh, thaw at room temperature or heat in the oven at 300°F for 5–7 minutes.
