Ingredients
  

For the Bread
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Can switch to a gluten-free blend for a GF version
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder Helps the bread rise
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda Works with baking powder to create lift
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Balances sweetness
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (melted) For deep flavor, try browning the butter
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the bread
  • 2 Large Eggs Bind ingredients together
  • 1 cup Buttermilk Use milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice if needed
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 cup Red and Green Sprinkles Opt for jimmies to avoid color bleed

  • 1/4 cup Additional Sprinkles For more color and fun on top

Equipment

  • 9x5-inch loaf pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by greasing it lightly or lining with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted unsalted butter and granulated sugar, whisking until smooth. Add eggs, vanilla, and buttermilk until fully incorporated.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing just until combined—small lumps are okay.
  5. Fold in the red and green sprinkles, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. Optionally, sprinkle with coarse sugar or extra sprinkles. Bake for 45-55 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven and cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
