Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cups Honey
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 whole Large eggs
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini loaf pan or an 8x4-inch loaf pan.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, then set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, honey, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.
Add the eggs one at a time into the wet mixture, whisking well after each addition.
Stir the milk and vanilla extract into the wet mixture until evenly combined.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix just until all ingredients are combined and no streaks of flour remain. Avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan(s), filling each about 2/3 full to allow room for the loaves to rise.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean.
Allow the loaves to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
