Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups light brown sugar (packed)
  • 4 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • ⅔ cup vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease 6 miniature loaf pans to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the bread once baked.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, all purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir together until evenly mixed, then set aside.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the eggs, milk, and vegetable oil until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Blend dry into wet: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  5. Fill loaf pans: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pans, filling each about an inch below the rim to allow space for rising. Optionally, sprinkle a little sugar or chopped nuts on top for added texture and sweetness.
  6. Bake the bread: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a loaf comes out clean, indicating doneness.

Notes

  • You can substitute whole wheat flour for half of the all purpose flour for a nuttier flavor and added fiber.
  • For a richer flavor, consider using buttermilk instead of regular milk.
  • Miniature loaf pans make convenient individual servings but you can use standard loaf pans; adjust baking time accordingly.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough bread texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
