Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pan

350°F (175°C)

Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

Step 2: Prepare the Batter

In a bowl, whisk together:

  • Flour

Set aside.

In another large bowl, beat:

  • Milk

Mix gently.

Gradually add dry ingredients until just combined.

Do not overmix.

until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

A: Yes. Use frozen fruit without thawing and add a few extra minutes to baking time.

Q: Why did my fruit sink to the bottom?
A: Tossing fruit with flour helps suspend it throughout the loaf.

Q: Can I make this loaf ahead of time?
A: Yes! The flavor becomes even better the next day.

Q: Can I use cream cheese instead of yogurt?
A: Yes. Softened cream cheese creates a richer, denser loaf.
