Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cups milk (or any dairy-free alternative)
- 0.25 cups neutral oil (such as vegetable or canola oil)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup optional mix-ins (like chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, or spices)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, neutral oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
If using optional mix-ins, gently fold them into the batter until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Enjoy! Wrap leftovers tightly in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to a week in the refrigerator.
