Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Festive Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup colorful festive sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan generously or line it with parchment paper for an easy release later.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leaveners and sweetness.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, melted butter, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended to create a rich, moist batter.
  4. Gently Fold Wet into Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until combined, being careful not to over-mix to keep the bread tender.
  5. Add the Sprinkles: Carefully fold in the festive sprinkles to avoid melting their color while ensuring they are evenly spread throughout the batter.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for a light, airy crumb.
  • Do not over-mix the batter to avoid tough bread.
  • Choose high-quality sprinkles that won’t bleed color during baking.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
  • Use buttermilk or a suitable substitute with vinegar or lemon juice for best texture and flavor.
