Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup milk

Mix-ins

  • ½ cup red and green sprinkles (plus extra for topping)
  • Optional: ½ cup white chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly mixed.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, blend the Greek yogurt (or sour cream), vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently just until the flour is incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  5. Add Sprinkles and Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the red and green sprinkles and optional white chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Pour Batter and Decorate: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle additional red and green sprinkles on top for a festive look.
  7. Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating the bread is fully cooked.
  8. Cool: Remove from oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use holiday-themed sprinkles that don’t bleed color excessively to maintain the bread’s appearance.
  • This bread can be glazed with a simple vanilla icing or dusted with powdered sugar for an extra festive touch.
  • Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil for gifting or freezing to preserve freshness.
