With spring here, I’m getting excited for fresh local produce! We have the best strawberries and cherries in the PNW. Before I know it, we’ll be bursting with fruit with local farm stands selling their goods! I know I have a bit to wait, but thought I’d share this recipe again. I usually make it just as a Strawberry quick bread, but added cherries last summer and was hooked!
This Strawberry Cherry Quick Bread is perfect for breakfast, brunch or an afternoon snack with just enough sweetness to satisfy your sweet tooth. You can even make it into muffins instead.
Strawberry Quick Bread
I love quick breads, mostly because I’m just not confident or organized enough to do yeast breads, although I love them just as much. I tend to lean towards quick breads because I can whip them up quickly for a weekend breakfast with minimal effort.
I grew up with strawberries everywhere! We had a strawberry festival with a big parade and strawberry princesses. Heck my mom even dyed her hair light pink one year for the festival. I remember her standing there with this big ole light pink bouffant hair-doo …….it was the mid 6os afterall.
Here’s to the strawberry!
