Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup raisins
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup butter, melted
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
Add the raisins to the dry ingredients and toss to coat. This prevents them from sinking during baking.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
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.
Slice and serve the bread as is or with a smear of butter. Enjoy!
