Easy to whip up with fresh or frozen Saskatoons, coconut and pecans, this bread is a great way to celebrate summer's Saskatoon berry bounty!

  • 🍽 More Saskatoon Berry Recipes!

Saskatoon berries have a short season, but they don't have to be fresh to make this loaf or any Saskatoon berry recipe. They can be frozen and used in pretty much any recipe that calls for Saskatoons or blueberries. And if you can't pick them yourself, they can also be found frozen at Farmer's Markets and some grocery stores.

Fate kept us closer to home this year so the stars finally aligned and after about 20 ish years of missing Saskatoon berry season, I finally got to pick Saskatoon berries this summer! And did I ever pick - 4 huge buckets!

🌡️Frozen Saskatoon Berries

I had a lot of berries to prep and freeze, but it was sooo worth it!

  • After I did quality control and washed them I froze them in single layers on parchment covered cookie sheets before putting them in freezer bags.
  • *I find that this is the very best way to preserve them.
  • Now they're ready to throw into cakes, cookies, muffins or any recipe I want!

I actually used frozen Saskatoon berries for this recipe. Saskatoon berry loaf is a great way to use Saskatoons, especially if they are frozen. They plump up enough to get juicy, but stay intact so you don't end up with a purple bread. 

This is another Saskatoon berry recipe that I created years ago and have only got around to posting now! Since I had a tough time getting fresh Saskatoon berries for a lot of years and I finally got to pick them this year, I'm excited to be making some new recipes and some old favorites, like this Saskatoon Berry Recipe. And if you are looking for even more Saskatoon berry recipes, check out the bottom of this post (under the recipe.)

📖 Variations

Berries: If you're among the lucky, you were able to get your hands on some Saskatoon berries (aka Juneberries or Serviceberries) this summer. But if you didn't, no need to worry because although this loaf is ideal with Saskatoon berries, you could substitute blueberries or another berry of your choice.

Flour: You can substitute for cake flour by adding a couple of other ingredients.

💭 Top tip

Substitute all-purpose flour for cake flour- Converting from all purpose flour to cake flour:

Take one cup of all purpose flour, spooned and leveled. Remove two tablespoons, and then add two tablespoons of cornstarch to the all purpose flour. Sift together before using.

1 cup AP flour – 2 tablespoon AP flour + 2 tablespoon cornstarch = 1 cup cake flour

🍞More Quick Bread Recipes

This Saskatoon Berry bread is considered a quick bread and I'm a huge fan of quick breads because well, they are quick, of course! Oh and you don't need yeast for them to rise. Which, if you'll recall, was a challenging thing to find earlier this year. Baking soda or baking powder take care of the rising part. And there is so much variety in quick breads, the sky is the limit as far as flavors go. If you love quick breads too, then check out my other quick bread recipes:

    I haven't seen any Saskatoons this year yet but I have a lot of blueberries in the fridge. They would be great in this recipe!

      Hey Bernice! They just announced they were ready for picking early this year at the Saskatoon Farm near Okotoks (that was July 15/21). But they also sell them frozen!

      Yes, the brown butter icing is to die for! My kids begged me to put more on the loaf the next time I made it 🙂

    I've heard about saskatoon berries but never knew what to do with them. I love that you included tips from when you pick them to offering the best tips and substitutions. Definitely pinning for later when I can get my hands on some
    In the meantime, could I substitute raspberries instead to make this loaf?

      Hi Amy,
      I think blueberries would be a better substitution, as raspberries tend to bake up a bit mushier. However, you could try it! Enjoy....
