Gluten Free Strawberry Bread with Strawberry Glaze

Doesn’t strawberry bread sound so good right now? Something about summer strawberries being at their peak! Bursting with flavor inside a warm and scrumptious bread, fresh out of the oven. Mmm, I’m getting hungry just thinking about it!

Paired with a fresh matcha or coffee on a sunny summer morning…pure perfection!

Now this bread is topped with even more strawberry goodness, a strawberry glaze. Which adds something extra! But you can omit it, if you prefer. The bread is definitely moist enough without the glaze. Just depends on how you’re feeling the day you bake it!

The combination of ripe bananas and dairy free sour cream really help the moistness factor in this recipe. You could even substitute a dairy free yogurt if you don’t have dairy free sour cream on hand.

Also, don’t be shy about throwing some chopped walnuts or pecans into your strawberry bread. It’s a nice little addition if you don’t have picky eaters or allergies to worry about.

Last but not least, being gluten and dairy free doesn’t mean boring or tasteless treats. Quality ingredients matter and so does the love you add while baking them!

Gluten Free Strawberry Bread with Strawberry Glaze

Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 1 HourTotal time: 1 H & 10 M

Ingredients

Strawberry Bread

• 1 cup gluten free 1:1 baking flour (I use Bob’s Red Mills)⁣
• 3/4 cassava flour⁣
• 1 teaspoon baking soda⁣
• ¼ teaspoon salt⁣
• 3 large bananas, mashed⁣
• ¼ cup coconut oil, melted⁣
• ½ cup coconut sugar⁣
• 1 teaspoon vanilla⁣
• 1 Tablespoon ground flaxseed⁣
• 1 Tablespoon arrowroot powder⁣
• 4 Tablespoons water⁣
• ½ cup vegan sour cream, room temperature ⁣

Strawberry Glaze (optional)

• 2 cups powdered sugar⁣, sifted
• 2 Tablespoons dairy free butter, melted⁣
• 1/3 cup finely diced strawberries⁣
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract⁣
• 1-2 Tablespoons dairy free milk⁣

Instructions

Strawberry Bread

1. Heat your oven to 350°F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.⁣
2. In a large bowl add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Using a whisk to combine. Fold the chopped strawberries into the flour mixture. Stir until the strawberries are coated, then set aside.⁣
3. Using a mixer, add the bananas, coconut oil, coconut sugar, vanilla, ground flax seed, arrowroot powder, water, and vegan sour cream. Mix until smooth and creamy.⁣
4. Add the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry mixture. Stir until just combined. (Don’t over mix.)⁣
5. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.⁣
6. If the center is not done, cover your bread with aluminum foil (or parchment paper) with a slit cut in the center. This allows heat to cook the bread but not burn the top of your bread. (Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes.)⁣
7. ⁣Remove from the oven and allow the bread to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Then lift bread out by the parchment paper and continue cooling on a cooling rack.⁣
8. ⁣Before glazing, allow the bread to cool completely.⁣

Strawberry Glaze

1. Using a mixer, combine the powdered sugar, melted dairy free butter, diced strawberries and vanilla extract. Mix until it is smooth.⁣
2. ⁣Pour over fully cooled strawberry bread.⁣
3. Keep leftover glaze stored in a sealed container, in the refrigerator or freezer for future use.
