Buttermilk Quick Bread
I’m quite fond of quick breads. I love how easy they are to make and the wide variety and variations of each recipe that I come across. I have yet to make a quick bread that I did not like. Granted, I scrutinize the ingredients very carefully before I decide to make it. Please allow me to formally introduce you to Buttermilk Quick Bread. A very simple bread that I have been making on the weekends if I have any buttermilk in the fridge. I found this recipe on one of my daily sources of inspiration: The Kitchn, and knew as soon as I saw it, that I was going to make it. I’ve made it 4 times already – twice plain, once with raisins and this past weekend, with blueberries. Versatile little quick bread, isn’t it? The original post, has a few other variations that look interesting to try too – like Pesto Loaf. (Are you imagining a green quick bread?)
I love that this plain bread is like a canvas. You can tweak it to your liking and chances are, it will turn out great.

The consistency of the batter is quite thick, so you have to gently spread into the corners with a spatula.

Ah! Perfection!

It’s best to use a serrated knife to cut this bread since it is a bit delicate.

Buttermilk Quick Bread with Raisins
I like that because the batter was so thick, the raisins didn’t have the chance to sink to the bottom of the pan 🙂 For some recipes with a batter of thinner consistency, like the Ginger Carrot Bread, you have to toss the raisins (or small fruit like blueberries) in flour before folding them into the batter. So nice that I was able to skip that step.

Finally, with Blueberries. I wanted to cut the loaf to take a quick photograph however, I was entertaining so I did not want to cut it before we were ready to eat it. Everyone loved it!

Cheers for now.

Beautiful!!! Love homemade breads sweet or savory! Great photography and amazing recipe!
Thank you, Sandra! I think I may be developing a quick bread “problem” because I love them so much… I prefer sweet to savoury though! I appreciate you, Sandra!
Perfect looking bread, Lyn! I would love to try it with blueberries! Yum yum!
Thanks, Tina. I’m happy to say this is one of my favourite breads. The blueberry bread was lovely!
Looks delicious! Quick question though. How well do you think this bread would freeze?
Hi Rita, so glad you stopped by. I’ve always read that quick breads are wonderful to freeze and can last 2-3 months in the freezer. Thaw for a few hours before slicing. However, I have not tested this because… well, quick breads are too tasty to save for later! I have a feeling I’ll be freezing over the summer so I spend less time in the kitchen! 🙂
Adding blueberries was a fantastic idea Lyn! I always love baking quick breads.
Thanks! Last minute decision – worked out well. 🙂
Love homemade breads. Well done.
Thank you so much, Christine!
With a pot of freshly brewed tea, this sure makes a perfect Sunday breakfast!
I agree, Angie!
You had me at buttermilk! Yum
Ha! Thanks Lauren! This is still one of my favourite quick breads! 🙂
