Today I'm sharing 30 sweet quick bread recipes. They're easy to make and come in endless varieties! You'll find popular flavors like pumpkin, gingerbread, blueberry, chocolate, and more on this list.
Quick bread loaves are easy to make for even the novice baker. Many quick bread recipes require little more than a bowl or two, a spoon, and a loaf pan. Plus, they're made with simple baking ingredients like flour, sugar, eggs, and chemical leavening like baking powder and baking soda.
Sweet quick bread is perfect for many occasions, like breakfast or an after school snack. A slice of quick bread even makes an excellent less-sweet dessert!
What is quick bread?
Quick breads are breads that are made with chemical leavening like baking powder or baking soda instead of yeast. The term "quick bread" refers to the fact that the recipe can be baked immediately and doesn't need to rest or rise like yeast breads do.
Quick breads can include loaves, muffins, scones, and biscuits. Today, we're focusing on sweet bread loaves, like pumpkin bread, gingerbread, and zucchini bread.
