Baking with Strawberries- 15 delicious recipes
When sweet strawberries hit the farmers market stands I am always the first in line to get them. I love fresh strawberries from the grocery store all year round, but those bright red, smaller fresh berries that come in season in the summer are my weakness. Peak-season strawberries never go to waste in my house!
Over the years I have created lots of wonderful recipes using juicy strawberries and here they are in one place for all your baking inspiration. If you are wondering what are the best ways to use strawberries after berry picking this is the guide for you! There are lots of different ways to use strawberries but these are my tried and true favorites!
Thanks for checking out my favorite strawberry dessert recipes and happy summer baking!

This recipe is a great way to get the taste and idea of a pie without as much effort. During strawberry season I will make one of these beauties with no other fruits, but I love adding rhubarb when both are plentiful. (Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch!)
Homemade Strawberry Cake with Buttermilk
This single layer strawberry cake recipe is one of my all time favorites. Not only is it simple and easy to throw together, but you can change the fruit out for whatever else is in season. This version uses strawberry halves nestled into the top of the batter but I love it with blueberries or peaches too!
Strawberry Rhubarb Almond Danishes
This recipe uses strawberry preserves with almond paste and puff pastry to make a super easy and delicious treat!
