Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 0.75 cups buttermilk
- 0.25 cups vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup prunes, chopped
- 0.5 cups walnuts, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 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, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set this dry mixture aside.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter—it should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the chopped prunes and walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
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.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
