Strawberry Bread

1¾ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup sugar
2 eggs
½ cup of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1¼ cups fresh strawberries, chopped (do not use frozen)
½ cup walnuts, chopped

In a small bowl, beat the butter and sugar until creamy. Add the sugar and beat for 1 minute. Beat in the eggs and beat for another minute. Mix in the sour cream or yogurt and vanilla.

Stir in the dry ingredients…flour, baking powder, salt, soda, and cinnamon.
Stir only until all dry ingredients are moistened and combined. Stir in strawberries and walnuts. Spoon into a well greased loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let stand on cooling rack for 10 minutes before removing from pan to cool completely.

Boy does this sound tasty Cookie...
And right now here in town the strawberries are huge, very sweet naturally and not too expensive. This would be good with a strawberry yogurt mixed with real whipping cream and drizzled over top of the bread.

Thanks for sharing, Cookie!

Years ago my kid's (who are now 29 and 32) daycare provider gave me some delicious Strawberry Bread, but I never managed to worm the recipe out of her... So the small loaf remains a fond memory...

Thanks for sharing your recipe, as I will be trying it soon -- maybe even sending the kids each a loaf...

I've got great recipes for banana walnut bread and pumpkin bread, and I suspect this recipe will become just as cherished...

Anne, I collect 'banana bread' recipes, would you share yours?

I'm planning to make this Friday or Saturday (whenever we get out to pick up the strawberries). Hubby will be thrilled, he's an avid strawberry eater.

I finally made this bread today...it's amazing! My husband REALLY enjoyed it, so much that I'll probably have to make a few more next week, some for us and some to give away to neighbours. I'm thinking of trying to add some chocolate chips to the batter and see how that tastes...strawberry and chocolate???!!!

Oh, I had to change one thing...didn't have plain yogurt, so used some strawberry yogurt we did have...yummmm! Very nice recipe!

Glad you liked it Eagle. I make a strawberry butter that I like on this bread also. Chocolate chips sound good too! Chocolate is good with anything in my book! You can use white chips too....strawberries and cream.

I have a very similar strawberry bread recipe. I made it for Easter, but used mixed frozen berries instead of frozen strawberries and it was a hit. So now you have a recipe for berry bread too.

Hey question....can one use self-rising flour instead of the flour/baking powder/soda/salt? And if so, how much? Same amount just don't add the other "stuff?"

I want to make this reallll soon...I'm just afraid I'll eat the whole thing.

It's very tempting to eat the whole thing. Hubby and I are both fighting the urge to nibble at it throughout the day.
