Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 4 ripe kiwis, peeled and mashed
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, combine the mashed kiwis, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve fresh, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
