Looking for a new way to bake with fresh strawberries and delicious zucchini? Then you are in the right place! Time to make this moist, light and tasty Fresh Strawberry Zucchini Quick Bread!

Here's what you need

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 – large zucchini – egg – milk, I use 2% but whole milk works as well – avocado oil , you can substitute with vegetable oil – powdered sugar – lemon juice

Step 1

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

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.

Tips for the Zucchini: 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.
