Similar to my Almond Flour Zucchini Bread, the zucchini flavor is masked by the strawberries. It’s quickly become a new favorite in my house. Even the picky eaters, the people who claim they don’t eat zucchini (aka my husband and son) enjoyed this quick bread recipe.

Ingredients

• All purpose flour.

• Sugar.

• Baking powder and baking soda.

• Cinnamon.

• Fine sea salt.

• Fresh diced strawberries. Both for the quick bread and the icing.

• Zucchini.

• Egg.

• Milk. I use 2% but whole milk works as well.

• Avocado oil. This works perfectly with this bread. You can substitute with vegetable oil

• Powdered sugar.

• Lemon juice.

How to make Strawberry Zucchini Bread 

Step 1 :Start with preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. Wash the strawberries and pat dry. Slice off the tops and then slice into a small dice. 

For the zucchini, there is no need to peel. Rinse the zucchini and pat dry. Cut off the stems on the end. You can use a box grater to shred it or my favorite way to easily make grated zucchini is to stick it in a food processor and pulse on “chop mode”. All the grating is done in under a minute! Then take the zucchini and place it in between paper towels and blot out the excess moisture.

Step 2: In a large bowl, add the flour by scooping it into the measuring cup and then leveling with a knife. Then add the sugar along with the other dry ingredients. Gently whisk to combine them. 

Step 3: In a medium bowl, combine oil along with the milk and egg. Then add in the zucchini and strawberries. Stir gently with a spatula to combine. 

Step 4: Take the wet ingredients and add it to the dry. Stir just until it is combined. Line a standard size loaf pan with a piece of parchment paper. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Place the strawberry zucchini bread into the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour. You will know the bread is done by doing a toothpick test- insert the toothpick into the center of the loaf and if it comes out clean, then it’s ready. 

Step 5: Remove the quick bread and let it cool for a few minutes. Then place it on a wire rack to cool to room temperature.

Step 6: Combine powdered sugar with lemon juice and mix in the remaining strawberries. Whisk together and gently smash the strawberries in. Pour the glaze over the loaf .

• Be sure to squeeze the zucchini dry. If you skip this step, the bread will become soggy.
• Cut the strawberries on the smaller side so they mix into batter easier.
• Avoid overmixing the batter.

Other variations

Strawberry Zucchini Bread can be enjoyed so many different ways. 

• The strawberry lemon glaze is optional to make a more healthy strawberry bread. This quick bread is absolutely delicious without it. 

• You can top off a slice with butter, lemon curd or strawberry jam.

• Cut out some of the sugar by replacing it with apple sauce.

• Any zucchini bread with fruit recipe would be delicious such pineapple and blueberries.

• Stir in crushed walnuts for some crunch.

• Add in milk chocolate chips or white chocolate chips to get your chocolate fix.
