This easy strawberry bread with yogurt recipe turns out a lightly sweetened quick bread loaf that’s dotted with sweet strawberries. This recipe is so simple to make. It’s perfect for beginners (or baking with kids) and experienced bakers alike. This bread is great for breakfast or snacking. Try it topped with peanut butter for a fun twist on PB and J.
For a quick bread that’s so easy to make, getting the recipe just right actually took me a lot of tries! Each version tasted great, but it was about getting the texture just right as the strawberries give off so much moisture, making the bread too soft and crumbly.
The winning combination was adding Greek yogurt, cutting back on the amount of strawberries, and making sure my strawberries were finely diced. If you don’t have Greek yogurt, try substituting an equal amount of sour cream. Here are some other Greek yogurt substitutes if that doesn’t work for your diet.
This sweet bread would be great topped with a simple glaze. Try the glaze recipe from my Blueberry Lemon Buttermilk Bread.
