Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 0.75 cups buttermilk
• 0.25 cups vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup prunes, chopped
• 0.5 cups walnuts, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 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, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set this dry mixture aside.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter—it should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped prunes and walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

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

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
