Thanks to all those strawberries we have growing in gutters, berry season arrived a little early for us this year. Now the challenge is to figure out what to do with all of of those juicy berries. Do you have any ideas?
For today’s after school snack I made a batch of strawberry streusel bread. This particular recipe will make 3 small loaves or 18 muffins, and is perfect to make the night before if you are planning on serving it for breakfast the next day. You know, just in case you want to sleep in.
Ingredients
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups strawberries, chopped
2 eggs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Streusel Topping
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup brown sugar
6 heaping tablespoons quick oats
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions
Pre-heat oven to 375°F.
Combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in large bowl and set aside
Combine the eggs, butter, milk and vanilla in mixing bowl. Add flour mixture and stir. Carefully fold in chopped strawberries and then pour into small, greased loaf pans.
To make the streusel topping simply combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and carefully spoon over the top of the bread batter.
Bake about 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the loaf comes out clean.
If you are in the market for an awesome mini loaf pan, I use the USA Pans 5-1/2 by 3-Inch Strapped Mini Loaf Pan. Amazon currently has it on sale for $25.27.

Bummer. Our strawberries are already over:-(.
Seriously? It’s only the middle of June?
I’m glad you posted this recipe–I’m planning to do some strawberry baking this weekend and had run across this recipe. http://smittenkitchen.com/2012/06/strawberries-and-cream-biscuits/#more-8596 I haven’t tried it yet, but plan to. Now I will try your recipe as well!
You must try it… So yummy!
Perfect timing – my daughter’s birthday is this weekend and I am making strawberry meringue cookies, a strawberry cake, and now these; she loves her some strawberries. Have a great weekend, Miss Mavis!
You too LaToya. Stay out of trouble!
Not sure where to post this but you should post your Corn chowder recipe on this site. It is my favorite and we make at least two times a month. It is so yummy.
Thanks Mamalala. I’ll have to re-post it again.
I’m glad you like it.
Along those same lines, how about a recipe index? (Or do you have it in some secret location that I can’t find?) I’m getting worn out from all the back scrolling to get to the quinoa recipes.
Sure JJ, I will add it to my to do list!
Perfect timing for my Zaycon strawberries I pick up tomorrow!
I second Jennifer Jo’s comment!!! Would love an index, thanks Mavis!
I am green with envy. Those strawberries look beautiful! Our berry season comes a little later in the summer so I just bought a big container of strawberries at Costco. I will have to try this recipe out. Thanks!
