An old-fashioned strawberry bread recipe made with mashed fresh strawberries and a touch of cinnamon. This quick bread is topped with a vanilla powdered sugar glaze.

The glaze is poured over the hot bread and soaks into the bread, keeping it moist and making it just slightly sweet. It works well as a dessert bread. Try this bread with a fantastic cream cheese spread or fresh butter.

Because this quick bread recipe makes 2 loaves, you can easily freeze one the loaves if you will not be eating both all at once.

Serving Ideas:  Serve this summery strawberry recipe as part of your favorite breakfast or brunch menu with creamy scrambled eggs, ham with ham glaze, and fruit filled cantaloupe.
