Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cups milk (or any dairy-free alternative)
• 0.25 cups neutral oil (such as vegetable or canola oil)
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup optional mix-ins (like chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, or spices)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, neutral oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.

Step 5

If using optional mix-ins, gently fold them into the batter until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Enjoy! Wrap leftovers tightly in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to a week in the refrigerator.
