This Strawberry Bread Recipe with walnuts is crunchy on the outside with amazing texture on the inside. Easy, delicious and uses basic pantry ingredients.
So…let’s talk about this strawberry bread recipe with walnuts bread. I received an email from one of my most loyal readers, Jeanette. She asked me if I wanted to share her Strawberry Bread recipe. She said it was a family favorite and when I saw the ingredients I knew why. Any quick bread recipe that calls for oil as the fat is always moist and full of texture. Jeanette’s bread was no different.
The Perfect Strawberry Bread Recipe
It’s an older recipe so it had me make a well in my dry ingredients for the wet ingredients. I love doing that! Jeanette’s recipe called for pecans but I used walnuts because I have a gigantic bag in my freezer. I roasted them first and they added a perfect, nutty flavor.

This strawberry bread was a tiny bit crunchy on the outside but moist and dense on the inside. The original recipe said to let the loaves sit overnight before slicing. Of course, I couldn’t do that. I tasted it warm from the oven and it was amazing. However, on the second day it was even better. I’m not sure why…but it really was.
I used frozen strawberries from the grocery store but I sorely wished I had frozen some of my own last summer. I am definitely doing it this year. At least a few bags so I have them on hand to make this bread.
