Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Sweet Quick Breads
  1. Prep the loaf pan by greasing it with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until no lumps remain.
  3. Blend the wet ingredients: In a larger bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and oil or melted butter together until smooth.
  4. Combine the mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined.
  5. Incorporate flavor additions: Fold in desired add-ins like pumpkin puree, Nutella, or dried cherries.
  6. Pour and bake: Pour batter into the greased loaf pan and bake at 350°F for about 60 minutes.
  7. Check doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
  8. Cool and serve: Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn it out to cool completely.
