Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup brown sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup melted butter or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar until evenly combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter (or vegetable oil), and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the bread tender.
- Pour Batter: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly for uniform baking.
- Bake Bread: Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing and slicing. Serve warm with butter or honey for extra enjoyment.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider mixing in cinnamon or chopped nuts into the batter.
- This bread is especially delicious served warm with butter or honey.
