With Manservant heading back to Texas before summer sets in I thought I would use some of my rhubarb crop and make this quick bread to send with him.
Last time he went I made this banana bread recipe that everyone loved, so we will see if this loaf meets with the same success.
Somehow I bet it will.

Why I Love This Strawberry Rhubarb Bread Recipe
Besides being a pretty bread, this bread is perfect for breakfast.
Not too sweet, and with fresh diced strawberries and fresh rhubarb, I think it’s healthy enough to start your day!
I’ve also used frozen rhubarb which means this great recipe doesn’t even have to be made in rhubarb season!
So don’t forget to slice your rhubarb to store in the freezer for use in other strawberry rhubarb recipes.
Since my rhubarb plant is green, not red, I think this would be the perfect holiday bread for neighbors!
And did I mention how quick and simple this moist, tender strawberry rhubarb bread is to make?
And no electric mixer required!
Ingredients and Substitutions for Strawberry Bread with Rhubarb
Dry Ingredients Include:
All Purpose Flour
Baking Powder
Salt
Wet Ingredients Include:
Milk
Canola oil or Vegetable Oil
Large Egg at room temperature
Vanilla Extract
White Sugar – I have not tried this recipe with brown sugar, but I see no reason why it wouldn’t work.
1 c fresh strawberries and 1 c tart rhubarb
How To Make This Strawberry Rhubarb Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
In a small bowl combine the diced sweet strawberries, rhubarb and 2 T of flour.
In a large measuring cup combine the flour, baking powder and salt.
In a large bowl whisk together the sugar, oil, milk, egg and vanilla.
Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined.
Lastly, fold in the berry mixture.
Sprinkle the top of the bread with granulated sugar.
If you wish to add a powdered sugar glaze then don’t sprinkle with sugar.
(Since I was sending this to Texas, I though the glaze might “melt”.)
Scrape into prepared pan and bake about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Cool in pan for 10 minutes and then remove and let this tender quick bread cool completely on a wire rack.
Is it OK to eat raw rhubarb?
It is fine to eat raw rhubarb but do not eat the leaves. They are poisonous.
Why do quick breads fall in the middle?
Sometimes the pan is too full and when the bread rises, it may have nowhere to go. That’s when it falls!
Also be careful that your baking soda and powder haven’t expired.
Why did my quick bread turn out heavy?
DO NOT overmix and follow the recipe carefully.
Can I make strawberry rhubarb muffins from quick bread batter?
Fill your muffin tins 3/4 full. Bake at 400 for about 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
What to Serve With This Delicious Bread

Or whipped cream or ice cream or even a smear of butter or honey cream cheese for an afternoon snack.
I love this easy bread recipe all on its own.

YUM!!! Bill isn't a fan of rhubarb (I'm not sure he's ever even tried it!), but I'd be happy to keep this bread to myself!!! Fingers crossed you get to cook with Carla! I met her a number of years ago when she was in Indy for the Superbowl! xo
