    ❤️You’ll Love This Recipe Because

    Quick to make: It takes about 20 minutes to make the batter for this strawberry bread and then into the oven it goes - all you have to do is wait!

    Taste & Texture: Soft, tender, perfectly moist, not too sweet, full of cinnamon and a hint of strawberry flavor.

    Versatile: Enjoy it as a dessert (by drizzling a simple glaze on top) or have it as a breakfast or snack with your cup of coffee.

    Freezes Well: Store the leftovers in the freezer. Warm it up for breakfast on busy mornings.

    🧾Ingredient Notes

    Here is the pic of the ingredients required to make delicious eggless fresh strawberry bread. The detailed amount is mentioned in the recipe card below.

    Ingredients used in strawberry bread with labels on marble surface.

    Strawberries: I always use fresh, ripe and juicy strawberries. Frozen strawberries work too because we are making a puree out of it to make the batter.

    Applesauce: It is used as an egg replacer here. It also makes the strawberry bread moist.

    Oil: Use flavorless or neutral flavor oil like avocado, sunflower, safflower, canola, vegetable or corn oil.

    Cinnamon: Do not skip it. It adds a nice, cozy flavor to this quick bread.

    Lemon juice: It should be freshly squeezed. The bottled lemon juice won’t give a good taste and texture.

    Lemon zest: It is the outer bright yellow layer of the lemon rind. Use the Microplane zester to get the zest. Make sure not to grate the inner white part of the rind, just grate the yellow part. The white part is bitter and makes the bread slightly on the bitter taste.

    Walnuts: Try with other nuts like pecans, almonds, cashews, etc. You can add chocolate chips if you like.

    👩‍🍳Step By Step Photo Instructions 

    Prep:

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) for at least 10 minutes.
    • Grease the 9x5x3 inches loaf pan using oil or butter. Or spray it with a cooking oil spray. 

    Making Fresh Strawberry Bread:

    1) Take dry ingredients (all purpose flour, sugar, ground cinnamon, salt, baking soda) along with lemon zest in a large bowl.

    2) Whisk it until everything comes together. Keep it aside until needed.

    3) Take strawberries and water in a blender.

    4) Make a smooth puree.

    5) Add remaining wet ingredients (oil, applesauce, lemon juice).

    6) Again blitz it until everything is combined.

    7) Pour this mixture into the dry flour mixture.

    8) Start mixing and folding until a batter just comes together. Do not overmix.

    9) Add toasted, chopped walnuts.

    10) Fold them into the batter.

    11) Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spread it evenly.

    12) Bake into the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes. Check by inserting a spaghetti or skewer in the center of the bread and if it comes out clean then the bread is ready. Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then loosen the sides by using a butter knife and invert it on a cooling rack. And let it cool down completely before slicing.

    💭Expert Tips

    • While folding the flour make sure not to overmix the batter. Otherwise, it won’t rise well and becomes dense, tough bread.
    • Always zest the lemon first and then get the juice from it.
    • Do not open the oven door in-between the baking process to check otherwise strawberry bread will deflate and sink in the middle.
    • Let the bread cool down completely or cool to warm before slicing. If you slice the hot bread then it may fall apart and crumble.

      Hi. I don’t have strawberries. But I have loads of strawberry applesauce.

      Pls guide. How I can replace the puréed strawberries and how much of strawberry applesauce I can add in total to equal the blended strawberries and applesauce together?

      Thanks.

        1 1/4 cups strawberry applesauce.
        Do not add 3 tablespoons of water at the beginning. Just mix the batter and see if it needs water or not
