Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.25 cup honey
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, honey, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—it's okay if there are a few small lumps.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Slice and serve warm with butter, jam, or an extra drizzle of honey. Store leftovers tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days.
