Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup mixed holiday sprinkles (red, green, and white)
  • Optional: extra sprinkles for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan to ensure the bread doesn’t stick and will release easily once baked.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined to distribute the leavening agents evenly.
  3. Combine Sugar and Butter: In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar and melted unsalted butter until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: To the sugar and butter mixture, add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until smooth and fully incorporated.
  5. Incorporate Buttermilk: Gradually pour in the buttermilk while stirring continuously to create a smooth wet mixture.
  6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon. Avoid overmixing the batter; some small lumps are okay and will help keep the bread tender.
  7. Add Sprinkles: Gently fold the holiday sprinkles into the batter to distribute them without breaking them up too much.
  8. Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle additional sprinkles over the top for a festive look.
  9. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure the bread stays light and tender.
  • Using fresh baking powder and baking soda helps the bread rise properly.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to avoid a gummy texture.
  • Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • You can substitute sprinkles with chocolate chips or dried fruit for a different twist.
