Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup dried apricots, chopped
• 0.5 cups sliced almonds
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour 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, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped dried apricots and sliced almonds. Toss to coat the apricots and almonds in the dry mixture, which helps them distribute evenly throughout the batter.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, and whisk until fully combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick but slightly lumpy.

Step 6

Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spread it out evenly with a spatula and smooth the top.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Slice and serve. Enjoy the bread plain, or spread with butter or honey for an extra treat!
