I don’t know about you, but there’s something about a delicious quick bread that always hits the spot. And as much as I love banana (who doesn’t, right?) I also really love mixing it up with whatever fruits are in season. Because if there’s one thing that’s true about quick bread, it’s that anything goes!

This looks SO good! I have a lot of berries leftover from picking so I may just make this! Yum!!!! Oh and the Hill Bros coffee looks yummy, I’ll have to get some! ????????????????☕️☕️☕️☕️
Yay! I hope you try it…it’s SO good! I love that Hills Bros. is making the compostable pods – yay for them! 🙂
How fun that strawberry festival looked, and this bread with coffee would be the perfect breakfast for me! I’m loving the fresh strawberries in this bread!
Thanks so much, Marcie! I love fresh strawberries all on their own, but with a cup of coffee, I love the strawberry BREAD so much better! 🙂
That Strawberry Festival looked like so much fun! And that bread looks fantastic!
Thanks, Rachael! It was a lot of fun and it totally inspired the bread! I can’t wait to go back next year!
How fun!! That festival looked like a blast and this bread looks amazing! As a coffee fan myself, I’m going to have to check out Hills Bros!
Thanks, Michelle….and YES! I can’t wait to get my hands on some of those pods!
I’m craving coffee now Cathy! And of course I want a piece of your delicious bread!
I hear you, Deb!? When am I not craving coffee and bread!?!? Lol
What a fun experience! Those pods sound awesome and need to check for them! I’ll take a loaf of this bread with my coffee!
Ha! I definitely had to stop myself from eating the whole loaf 😉
So perfect for summer! We just picked up some strawberries today 🙂
Thanks, Amanda! It’s a great way to use up any extras…..if that’s a thing. (My kids tend to gobble them up faster than I can deal with!) 🙂
A strawberry festival! I want to go, that sounds like an amazing festival to take part in. The strawberry bread sounds like it would be a wonderful addition to a brunch or to snack on throughout the day if it was at my house.
It’s such a great festival – ALL things strawberry! And yes! This bread is perfect any time of day! 🙂
Okay, deliciousness! I made this – can I blog about it and link to your recipe and this post? Let me know if that’s okay ???? ????????
Awww, love you! Of COURSE you can! 🙂 <3
What a fun festival! I would sure love a cup of coffee after reading your post and a big slice of that strawberry bread would be perfect with it.
Aww thanks, Joanie! I agree – it’s an ideal combo! 🙂
I love a good cuppa coffee!! And that strawberry bread looks like it would be an instant favorite!!
Same! And yes….I think I’ll be making this again and again and again 🙂
Strawberry festival? WOW! I didn’t even know there’s such a thing. The strawberry bread looks fantastic! Just perfect with a cup of coffee!
Thanks for the info on Hill Bros Coffee! What a great way to go good for the planet!
Thanks so much, Roxana! I was happy to learn about Hills Bros too….I love that they made this move!
What a glorious bread to enjoy with a nice, fresh, hot, cup of HB coffee.
Yes!!! Thanks, Renee! 🙂
There is nothing better than fresh fruit bread! It makes the best use out of all those fresh summer berries.
Wow that bread looks so good!!
This bread looks delicious!! I am planning on making it this week! I have 2 questions…can I use almond milk? My husband is lactose intolerant. And then where is this best stored after making–the fridge or sealed container on the counter? Thank you! 🙂
Hello! I was so excited to make this bread but it came out so much more like a cake than the bread I anticipated. Was good – but not excellent as I’d hoped for! Any advice tips?!
Thanks!!
In Florida the strawberry festival is in the spring, not too far away now. We are getting really sweet berries from Plant City. I just made this recipe and if it tastes as good as it smells it will be amazing!
This is a great recipe. Made this today and the whole family loved it. The kids put some homemade jam on it but I thought it was was fine just plain.
So glad to hear you all enjoyed it!
Made this was excellent
Can we use frozen strawberries?
Do you have sliced frozen strawberries? I think it might be a difficult substitution, but you could try!
I usually don’t leave comments but your recipe was amazing!! My husband absolutely loved it and he isn’t a fan of strawberries. And my picky son ate it too. I was just wondering if I could substitute strawberries for cherries because I have a lot left over.
Does this freeze well?
This Strawberry Bread look delicious ~ I’m actually going to make it today for Sunday dessert, maybe a little vanilla ice cream on top (or whip cream or both)!!
I bought some strawberries from my local farmers market and was looking for a good recipe. I ran across this and thought I would try it. It was absolutely amazing, couldn’t stop eating it. I did change out the 3 tbsp. of oil for some homemade sugar-free apple sauce, I had canned. Moist and delicious will make it again and again.
Hey! Could you tell me the one cup sugar is powdered or granulated?
Thanks.
How long does this keep for I am wanting to make some for my daughter’s school but want to make a few days ahead?
Cold I add cream cheese?
I added a small box of dry cream cheese pudding mix and some extra milk. I got one slice before the kids devoured it. Will make again when they are not home. 😉
This ran all over my oven. You said 1 bread pan. That is what I used. Will not make again.
What size loaf pan did you use? 9 inch loaf pan?
I’m scrolling through the comments to find the same answer. Are people using a 9 inch or 8 inch loaf pan?
I have this in the oven now. It smells so good, but I think my loaf pan must be larger than yours because my bread is well above the top of the pan. It wasn’t quite finished at 55 minutes. I can’t wait to try it!
Mine turned out horrible! It was dry and it went into the garbage. There wasn’t enough liquid for the amount of dry ingredients. 🙁
I made this for Christmas morning as directed, although I sprinkled a little extra sugar on the strawberries and let them sit about 10 min before folding them in. Well, 10 Lords-a-Leapin’ this was a Christmas Miracle. Incredibly moist, tender, perfectly (but not overly) sweet, and beautiful to look at sliced on the plate. Paired with a hot cup of coffee as we sat opening presents was simply heaven. We have a new Christmas morning tradition! Thank you for this perfect recipe!
So happy you enjoyed it!
I made this today. Was easy to make and it tasted really nice. Thanks for sharing the recipe 🙂 🙂 🙂
This bread was so easy and turned out so moist! It made three loaves and I shared them. Everyone raved about the taste and how moist it was. Love it!
