Dreaming of strawberry fields in the depths of winter? Just preheat your oven! These strawberry recipes are yummy even with out-of-season supermarket berries.
strawberry recipes to channel spring
Food has the ability to transport us to where we long to be, so even though spring may seem impossibly far away, these berry-licious treats will take you there!
Today we’re taking advantage of the magic that happens when you bake with fresh fruit ~ even those out of season berries you pass by every week at the supermarket. The heat of the oven brings out all the wonderful flavors that make these recipes work both now and later when you finally nab those first spring berries.
strawberry lemon blondies
Strawberries get an extra kick of fresh tart flavor when combined with lemon juice in these fan-favorite blondies. They are one of my most popular recipes for good reason – you just can’t beat that sweet/tart combo of strawberry and lemon!
Everyone thought they were delicious! Was looking for something different and summery. Your photos look exactly like what I made! They are sweet, yet tangy. So pretty too! Looking forward to trying them with other fruits.

strawberry buttermilk cake
Buttermilk adds lovely flavor and a soft, tender texture to this simple strawberry cake. Baking berries always helps bring out their flavor, and I love this cake for winter and spring mornings alike.
This cake was a huge hit! Our 6 year old granddaughter loves anything strawberry so of course she wanted strawberry cake for her bday. She loved helping me make it!! We made it late in the day so it was still warm when it was time for cake. Served in bowls with heavy cream to everyone’s delight. DELICIOUS!!

strawberry sheet pan pancakes
Warm up a chilly morning with these easy-to-make sheet pan pancakes laced with strawberry slices. If you haven’t tried making pancakes with the sheet-pan method, prepare to be hooked! No flipping, no cold pancakes, and so much quicker!
I made these for my daughter on her birthday and they became an instant classic. Thanks Sue for another family tradition!

strawberry jam bars
Strawberry jam bars are all about that unbeatable combo of buttery shortbread cookie dough and sweet-tart strawberry jam. In other words…when you can’t get great strawberries, use jam!
I used my favorite store bought strawberry jam for these bars and they were so good!!

strawberry scones
Just the words “strawberry scones” are enough to make me smile. These easy to make scones have a sweet vanilla glaze that takes them over the top, and more than compensates for berries that might not have the fullest flavor and sweetness.
I got so many compliments on these. Everyone that tasted them fell in love. I will be making these repeatedly.

strawberry buttermilk bread
This elegant bread takes me away to spring tea parties and garden-shindigs even when it’s ten below outside.
Well Sue, what a delicious cake! It was so delicious that it only lasted a day and a half! I will definitely be making this cake again. Thank you for the lovely recipe.
