Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (chopped) ripe plums
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Wash and pit the plums, then chop them into small pieces, measuring out 2 cups. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped plums and, if using, chopped walnuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove the loaf pan from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove the bread from the pan and allow it to cool completely on the rack before slicing.
Serve the plum bread as is, or spread a little butter or cream cheese on top for an extra treat. Enjoy!
