You guys are going to love how easy to is to make this delicious strawberry bread recipe. It comes together very quickly and you don’t need any fancy equipment or things to make it. It’s a great twist on banana bread with no bananas and it is loaded with fresh strawberries.

My kids were absolutely obsessed with this loaf too and had it for dessert every night until it was finished. We love anything strawberry in our home so this was such a hit. And it is also a great bread to make for a brunch or sweet snack for the week.

I love having it with some butter smeared on top and it’s also great with some whipped cream too (strawberry shortcake vibes!).

This is also a great bread to bake and freeze. You can freeze it in individual slices or a whole loaf – either works!

What ingredients you need to make gluten-free strawberry bread:

  • Eggs – I haven’t tried flax eggs but they should work
  • Maple syrup – or use honey if you prefer. I like this for flavor
  • Milk of choice – dairy or non-dairy will all work
  • Melted butter or neutral oil – vegan butter works too. For oil I recommend avocado oil or coconut oil
  • Vanilla extract – for flavor always
  • Gluten free all purpose flour – oat flour could work too
  • Fresh strawberries – I prefer fresh over frozen here

How to make strawberry bread:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a standard loaf tin with parchment paper
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, maple syrup, milk, oil and vanilla extract
  3. Add in the flour and baking powder until smooth
  4. Next fold in strawberries then pour the batter into the greased loaf tin
  5. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean
  6. While loaf is baking, begin make the glaze by mixing the mashed strawberries and powdered sugar
  7. Allow loaf to completely cool then drizzle glaze on top, slice and enjoy!

FAQs on making strawberry bread:

  • Can I use frozen strawberries for this bread? I prefer fresh because they’re less watery but you can use frozen if that’s all you have. Bake time just may need to increase a bit.
  • Can I bake this into muffins or a round cake? Of course! Same baking temperature but adjust the bake time as needed. I’d start with 18 minutes for muffins and 20 minutes for cake.
  • How do I store the bread? I recommend in the fridge since strawberries are involved and the glaze. Store in airtight container or tightly wrap it with plastic wrap or foil. Or you can freeze it for up to 2 months.
  • Can I sub the flour? I haven’t tested another flour. All purpose flour (not gf) would work and likely oat flour as well. But I haven’t tried a grain-free option. 
  • Can I use another berry? Of course! Blueberries, raspberries or blackberries can all work here.
