Introduction:
Delicious Breakfast Bread is a delightful and versatile treat perfect for starting your day. This bread is moist, fluffy, and loaded with flavor, making it an ideal choice for breakfast or brunch. Enjoy it warm with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen berries (blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries)
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Optional Addition:

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or dried fruit for added sweetness and texture.

Instructions:

  1. Preheat and Prepare:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  1. Cream Butter and Sugars:
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  1. Add Eggs and Vanilla:
  • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well incorporated. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  1. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  1. Fold in Berries and Nuts:
  • Gently fold in the berries and chopped nuts (if using). Be careful not to overmix.
  1. Bake the Bread:
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  1. Cool and Serve:
  • 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 warm or at room temperature.

Tips for Success:

  • Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • If using frozen berries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent excess moisture.
  • You can substitute the buttermilk with a mixture of milk and lemon juice or vinegar if needed.
