When it comes to fresh berries, strawberries are my absolute favorite! I enjoy strawberry ice cream, pie, cake, muffins, bread, fruit smoothies, tossed in my breakfast cereal or oatmeal and I enjoy them plain.
The following recipe utilizes freshly sliced strawberries, so please make note of that. Next, this bread freezes really well. The recipe makes 2 loaves and if you want to freeze the second loaf for later use, you’ll want to let it cool, then wrap it and place into a freezer storage bag. It should keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. Then thaw in the refrigerator when needed.

Strawberry Bread Recipe
2 cups Fresh Strawberries, Sliced
3 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
2 cups Granulated Sugar
1 Tbsp. Ground Cinnamon
1/4 tsp. Allspice
1 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1 1/4 cups Vegetable Oil
4 Medium Eggs, Well-Beaten
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare 2 loaf pans by lightly greasing them with butter or non-stick baking spray. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, allspice, salt and baking soda. Place sliced strawberries into a separate mixing bowl. Stir in the vegetable oil and beaten eggs, stirring to combine those ingredients in with the sliced berries. Once mixed, pour this mixture into your flour mixture, stirring until all ingredients are well-combined.
Pour half of the batter into your first loaf pan and the second half of the batter into the second loaf pan. Use the back of a tablespoon to flatten and smooth the batter in the pan if needed.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 40-50 minutes. I find it best to use glass baking dishes (loaf pans), but you could certainly use metal. I just feel that my bread bakes more evenly when I use glass pans. Once the center is done, remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 4-5 minutes. Then turn out the bread loaves onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes: I really enjoy this bread in the morning along with my coffee. I like to drizzle melted honey butter on top and enjoy it warm. It’s delicious! During the holiday season I will make this bread and pour the batter into mini loaf pans to give as holiday gifts. If using mini loaf pans, you’ll get 8-9 mini loaves.

I have never made a strawberry bread. I love blueberry bread and want to try this bread recipe.
Having a fresh berry bread is my idea of a perfect breakfast. Good idea to use mini loafs for gifts. I am certain they are much appreciated.
I bet this is delicious. I like making breads like this, then making a butter compound to go with it, too. Yum.
This sounds so good. I like the idea of adding honey butter. Yummy.
I’ve never made strawberry bread but I do like strawberries. Glad that the 2nd loaf can be frozen.
oh my, this looks really good! I’ve actually never had strawberry bread so this is something i need to try. It’s great that you can freeze it to eat later. This will be great to add to our thanksgiving meal
That looks so good! I would for sure over eat on this one! Butter or whip cream? I think it would be such a moist bread it would be like having cake!
This bread sounds and looks so good. As a senior I like to make stuff that freezes well. I would take the loafs and slice and freeze so I can just pull out what I want to eat for a couple of days.
