Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (210g)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk (240ml)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup red and green sprinkles (jimmies style; avoid nonpareils)
- Optional Topping: 1 tablespoon coarse sugar
- Additional sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line or grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar together until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, ensuring they are well incorporated. Stir in vanilla and buttermilk.
- Gradually combine the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing!
- Gently fold in the sprinkles, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. If desired, sprinkle with coarse sugar or more sprinkles.
- Bake for 45–55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
Avoid overmixing the batter; it’s okay to have a few lumps. Use jimmies instead of nonpareils to keep the sprinkles intact during baking.
