Strawberry Bread #SundaySupper #FLStrawberry
It’s hard to believe that 2015 is just about over. Where did the time go? Today my Sunday Supper family is joining forces to kick off the new year with Fresh from Florida Strawberries!
I have used Florida Strawberries for decades. Some of my favorite desserts that highlight these gorgeous berries are Mom’s Strawberry Pie, Strawberry Cobbler Bars and Heavenly Cassata. Today I am sharing Strawberry Bread, which is a great way to start your day.
In addition to chopped strawberries in the bread I also cooked berries over the stove and added this mixture into the batter. With my first bite of Strawberry Bread I knew this would be a hit with my family. They don’t even have to know how healthy this bread is for them.
I feel so fortunate that I live in Florida, where I am able to enjoy the taste of summer all winter long with Fresh from Florida Strawberries. Did you know 8 medium strawberries equal your daily requirement of vitamin C? Strawberries are nutritious and delicious, locally grown Florida Strawberries are in season now.

Your pics are making me drool! I can almost taste this delicious bread just by looking at them!
Marion,
Thanks so much! My work here is done! 😉
Oh my goodness! This is so perfect for any meal – but I think this needs to go on my New Year’s Day brunch menu!
Nichole,
What a great idea and such a bright and tasty way to start your New Year!
This looks great for breakfast or a snack!
Heather,
I have been known to eat it throughout the day! 😉
I could eat this anytime!
I do, Cindy!!
Love the color that the strawberries impart to the bread. Yummy for sure!
Katie,
It’s fun to naturally add color into a bread. Thank you!
A slice or two of this toasted and slathered with honey butter would be absolutely amazing for breakfast or afternoon snack.
I am so with you, Renee!!! 🙂
This bread looks so perfect. I would love to try it!
You know where I am, Shaina! 🙂
Mmmmmm!!!! Oh Betsy, I love this recipe SO MUCH!
Thanks so much, Connie! You made my day!!
There’s not a lot we agree on, but we’re all strawberry lovers here. And I’m always looking for new breads. I have a basket of quick breads and muffins on the table at holiday meals and I always make a few if we’re having overnight guests, they’re great for breakfast!
Karen,
I also love the ease of quick breads. Besides the convenience, the taste is terrific!!
Betsy! You have totally done it again! I need some of this bread warmed with some cold butter on it for my afternoon tea!
I think that sounds heavenly, Krayl! Let’s have it together!!
Fantastic bread!
We have great strawberry now and it;s definitely a good recipe to use them for 🙂
Winnie,
Our Florida strawberries are gorgeous through Easter here in the states. I hope yours are equally delish in Israel!
