Description
A delicious and easy recipe for Cinnamon Rhubarb Bread, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 1/2 cups rhubarb, chopped (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped rhubarb and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon for the topping, then sprinkle it evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For added flavor, try adding a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
- If you prefer a sweeter bread, increase the sugar by 1/4 cup.
