This is super moist and tender strawberry bread, filled to the brim with fresh summer berries. I usually make the quick bread with melted coconut oil, but a neutral oil like vegetable oil works too. Drizzle the cooled bread with creamy vanilla icing.

Preparation
Not specified
Cooking
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
- Grease an 8×4-inch (10cm) loaf pan like this one or this one with nonstick spray.
- Set aside.
- Make the bread:.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together until combined.
- Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the egg, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and buttermilk together until combined.
- Make sure there are no brown sugar lumps remaining.
- Whisk in the oil and vanilla.
- Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently whisk until there are no more lumps.
- Avoid over-mixing.
- Gently fold in the strawberries.
- Pour/spoon batter into prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 55–70 minutes, making sure to loosely cover the bread with aluminum foil halfway through to prevent the top from getting too brown.
- The bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with only a few small moist crumbs.
- All ovens vary, so begin checking every 5 minutes around the 55-minute mark.
- Remove bread from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan set on a wire rack for 1 hour.
- Remove bread from the pan and place the loaf directly on the wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the icing.
- Whisk the icing ingredients together.
- (I usually use heavy cream, which promises a thick icing.) Drizzle over bread before slicing.
- Cover and store bread at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Icing seeps into the top of the strawberry bread over time, so expect the tops of the slices to become a little moist.
