This brown sugar bread recipe is full of flavor and incredibly easy to make. A no yeast bread made with staple ingredients and just 5 minutes hands-on time!
Brown Sugar No Yeast Bread
Quick breads are one of my favorite things to bake – even above cookies. You can whip up a loaf or 6 in just 5 minutes hands-on time (and it doubles as potpourri). As quick bread bakes, it fills your home with the most beautiful aroma, building excitement to remove it from the oven.
This no yeast bread is the best way to get the taste of old-fashioned homemade bread, without out all the time and hassle. I would love to have the time and energy to make yeast bread all the time, but sometimes the easier route is just as satisfying. That’s definitely the truth in this situation.
I recently adapted my sweet bread recipe to make brown sugar bread and it’s simply delicious!
The brown sugar makes bread extra moist because of molasses in it. It gives this bread a deeper color and flavor as well. It’s out of this world delicious alone or smothered with a little butter.

Brown Sugar Bread – The Perfect Treat
Brown Sugar Bread makes a delicious breakfast snack or dessert. Serve it warm immediately after removing it from the oven or later in the week! It’s a homemade treat that tastes and feels special.
I tend to make quick bread in these miniature loaves enjoying one and gifting or freezing remaining loaves.
5 minutes, 6 beautiful loaves!
Brown Sugar Bread and any variation of this no yeast bread makes the perfect housewarming, hostess, holiday and neighbor gift as well. Simply bake it in miniature loaf pans.
You can find these miniature loaf pans for less than $2 at Michaels, but you can also use disposable.
Tied with a ribbon, wrapped in parchment, or a kitchen towel, they make a beautiful gift. I hope they make your day a little sweeter, too. Enjoy!
The Basics of a Bread Recipes Without Yeast
A quick bread is a bread without yeast. In this easy recipe we use baking powder. Omitting yeast makes it quick and easy, hence the name! Many breads, muffins, biscuits and scones are considered quick breads.
No yeast bread is typically made with just a few staple ingredients and takes less than 5 minutes hands on time!
Flour
Flour is the primary ingredient for all no yeast breads. When combined with liquid (milk and vegetable oil), it provides the structure which prevents it from falling. When baked, it expands, trapping the gases from the leavening agent (baking powder).
This results in a moist, light and airy loaf that you’ll crave again and again!
This recipe calls for all purpose flour, but you can substitute self rising flour omit the baking powder and salt. Self rising flour is a blend of all purpose flour, baking powder and salt.
Baking Powder
Baking powder is a dry chemical leavening agent. It’s a mixture of an acid (sodium bicarbonate) and cream of tartar which increases the volume of quick breads and provides a light texture.
It releases gas in the batter causing bubbles which create the rise. This ingredient is essential for a bread recipe with no yeast.
Salt
A touch of salt goes a long way in baking recipes. It strengthens the gluten protein structure in addition to adding a hint of flavor. It enhances the flavor of all ingredients and therefore is the only seasoning required in this delicious recipe.
Milk
Milk adds to the moisture and activates the gluten. You can also use buttermilk if you prefer! Learn how to make buttermilk here. Dairy free? Use your favorite dairy substitute. Almond milk works incredibly well. You can use anything from skim milk to vitamin d!
Oil
Liquid fat makes the bread moist. I use vegetable oil, but canola oil or melted butter also work well.
Eggs
Eggs bind the ingredients and also help leaven the bread.
Variations for this No Yeast Bread
This bread is incredible as is because of the rich molasses, but you can mix up this recipe in so many ways! Some suggestions include:Extracts – add a hint of vanilla, almond, banana or maple, the options are endless. Simply add 2 teaspoons of your favorite extract.
- Nuts – fold in walnuts, pecans or almonds or use them to garnish the bread just before placing it in the oven.
- Fruits – you can add in banana slices, apples or dried fruits, even raisins to your mixture as well.
- Spices – Blend in a tablespoon of cinnamon or combine cinnamon with 2/3 cups sugar and swirl it in.
- Chocolate – white or milk chocolate chips are also a delicious addition.
- Oats – fold them in and sprinkle on top for added texture.
- Glaze – add a cream cheese glaze, apple glaze or classic glaze.
How to Make Bread Without Yeast
The concept is the same for all breads made without yeast (see below for more easy no yeast bread recipes). It’s a no fuss, no muss way to make homemade bread. There’s no yeast and therefore no wait!
No yeast bread is typically made by combining dry ingredients, followed by wet ingredients and gradually folding the dry mixture into the wet mixture for an even rise.
- Combine dry ingredients.
- Combine wet ingredients.
- Gradually incorporate dry into wet.
- Pour into greased loaf pan.
- Bake bread (this recipe takes about 40 minutes bake time).
Tips
- Don’t overfill your loaf pan. Allow room to compensate for rise.
- Use the toothpick test to ensure it’s ready. Bake time varies based on your loaf pan size and material, altitude and even oven temperatures can vary. Insert a toothpick into the center. When it comes out clean it is done.
Baking Alternatives
- Large Loaves – You can also make this in 2 – 1 pound loaf pans or cut the recipe in half for just 1 loaf pan and bake 50-60 minutes.
- Make Muffins – If you prefer to make them into Strawberry muffins, just grease miniature muffin tins and fill each to 2/3 full. Bake 12 minutes.
- Make it Ornate – Alternatively, you can also bake it in an ornate loaf pan with the same minimal effort!
To Store
- Room Temperature – Store no yeast bread in a sealed plastic bag or covered in saran wrap at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Refrigerate – Up to 1 week in an airtight container.
- Freeze – Wrap them tightly in heavy foil, saran wrap or place them in freezer bags (I like to do at least 2 to prevent freezer odors from seeping in), and freeze for up to 3 months. Bring to room temperature to serve.
It’s hard to believe you can whip up something so delicious and easy with ingredients you have on hand in just a few minutes. It’s so delicious and so gratifying! Enjoy!

I LOVE that you included large loaf pan directions also! Thank you! I often make quick breads both ways and have to guess at cooking times. You’re very thoughtful and I really appreciate that!👍😃
So glad you enjoyed it! I try to be thorough with my recipes and testing to make it really easy and adaptable using what you have on hand! I now have 35 Quick Bread Recipes – hope you give more of them a try! I’d love to hear what you think!
What are the dimensions of the loaf pans used? There are a couple sizes of regular size loaf pans.
This recipe is for miniature loaf pans – You can also make this in 2 – 1 pound loaf pans or cut the recipe in half for just 1 loaf pan and bake 50-60 minutes.
Can this bread be used for French Toast do you have any recipes for Bread you can use for French Toast
My Homemade Bread Recipe would be best for French Toast – enjoy!
I hope to try this with coconut milk and coconut oil and coconut extract 🤣
It should work well – I haven’t tested with coconut milk, but coconut oil works great with this bread. Enjoy!
Melodia
Has anyone done this in a bread machine?
It’s so simple you truly don’t need to – just 5 minutes to combine and fill.
I plan to make this tomorrow, but I only have a 2lb loaf pan. What would the baking time be?
I haven’t tested in a 2 pound loaf pan, but you can use the toothpick test to ensure it is baked all the way through.
This is the best to have with your morning coffee!!! Made it for my in-laws who loves a sweet bread with their coffee and the halved recipe was gone within a day. Another one is in the oven right now! Thanks for sharing!
So happy to hear that! You’ll also love my almond bread – the perfect compliment to coffee!
Tried this a while ago, it was delicious and disappeared quickly. Will definitely make again. Thank you for sharing Julie!
Thanks, Amanda! I have 34 more easy bread recipes if you want to mix it up!
Wonderful!
FANTASTIC! 😋 YUMMY
If you add ripe banana do you reduce liquid and/or fat?
I haven’t tested banana – if you do, let me know how it goes! You should be okay as is.
I make this all the time. I use dark brown sugar 1.5 cups instead of 2 and the buttermilk suggested and vanilla with a heaping tsp of cinnamon. We love it for breakfast with some fresh fruit! Thank you.
So glad you enjoyed it, thank you for sharing!
Anyone ever try with gluten free flour?
I made this the other day and it’s almost gone already. So tasty and delicious! Am definitely going to make this again and again and again! Thanks!
Thanks, Amanda! Be sure to try more of my no yeast Quick Bread Recipes
Hello Julie… I’m new to baking bread and I want to try your recipe. Just one question… did you use a ceramic or a metal pan? I’ve a Pyrex loaf dish. . . do I’ve to adjust oven temprature for a glass dish? Please do reply. Thank you!
I have used both – for Pyrex I’d reduce 5 minutes and do the toothpick test to ensure it’s done. Enjoy!
This is the 2nd recipe of yours I made. It was super simple and the flavoring turned out great. Your notes on sprinkling sugar on top really made all the difference. My bread loaf tins were kind of small so I had way more batter left so I used my mini bundt pans to make 3 of those with sugar topping, bananas and chocolate chips and a large bread/cake with bananas. This is another recipe of yours I will make again. Huge hit in the house!!
So glad you enjoyed it! I hope you’ll try more of my quick bread recipes! Thank you so much for taking the time to rate!
Made this today and the very center of it fell in. I’m not sure what the problem was. The rest of it was fine, and it tasted good. Don’t know what went wrong.
I’m sorry to hear that. It sounds like one of two issues. First possible issue is underbaking – Loaf pan size and material effect bake time as well as altitude. In addition, some oven temperatures are wrong – you can use a thermometer in your oven to ensure it’s accurate. To prevent underbaking, you can use the toothpick test. When a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, it’s done!
Second possible issue is that the baking powder is expired. Check the date before baking with it. I’ve fallen victim to this one a time or two. Hope that helps!
I made this but honestly it just tasted like a cake nothing like a bread. Disappointed for dinner but would be good as cake not bread.
It is intended for breakfast and snack, much like muffins or banana bread as the name “sugar” indicates. If you’re looking for something savory, try beer bread or artisan bread.
Can this be made in a bread machine?
I’m sure it can, but I haven’t tested it because it’s truly so quick and easy!
Granddaughter praised this bread to no end! She calls it her Quarantine Sugar Bread and says it is the best she has ever had! We all agree with her.
So sweet
Mine came out more constant with a cake and not bread. The flavor is nice and light, I love it but it wasn’t what I was expecting.
To start off, I did half the recipe…. would that affect it?
Depending on that and your loaf pan, it will effect bake time.
It is a sweet bread, rather than a traditional bread. Kind of like a muffin, in bread form.
I made changes due to being vegan and due to not having the right ingredients- I used flax seeds and water instead of eggs, coconut sugar instead of brown sugar, rapeseed oil instead of vegetable oil and wholemeal four instead of all-purpose flour. Also added almond oil. It was lovely and moist. Really happy with my first sweet bread!
Hi Julie, thanks for sharing your recipe and tips! If I’m using a bread maker machine (just bought it), will it work? Do i select “sweet bread”, “quick bread”, “cake”, or just “bake”?
I’m sorry, it’s so easy that I haven’t tested it in a bread maker – it’s just 5 minutes hands on time and bake. If you do, please let me know.
Has anyone tried baking this bread with less sugar?
No, but a few readers have and left positive reviews.
Could I use a muffin pan? If so, what would be the bake time.
If you prefer to make them into muffins, just grease miniature muffin tins and fill each to 2/3 full. Bake 12 minutes.
Was just wondering if this recipe would work if I used almond flour?
I haven’t tested it, but if you do, please let me know.
Super easy to make. My kids (4) absolutely loved it. I added chocolate chips and it wasn’t super sweet!
Thank you, Mae!
Omg!!! I just made the brown sugar bread & it is absolutely delicious!!!! It’s light & reminds me of a cross between bread & (cake) for lack of a better word. I didn’t have the correct size pan— not even close!!! I actually cut the recipe to 1/4 , because my supplies are limited & I wasn’t sure how it would turn out; given the fact that my pan was an 8×8 square. I added cinnamon & pumpkin pie spice. I’m afraid I’m going to eat the entire bread!!! Thank you so much for a fabulous recipe!!! Also, because the consistency wasn’t anything like bread dough that you would knead— I honestly thought it wasn’t going to be good at all!! Boy was I pleasantly surprised!!!!!!
So happy to hear that! You can mix it up in so many ways and try my 35 other Quick Bread Recipes!
I made this with gluten-free flour – and added chocolate chips! It was actually better the 2nd day. My family (who isn’t gluten-free) ate it up like it was candy. And they’ve been asking me to make more. WIN!!!
That brings me so much joy! Thanks for sharing, Mary!
I made the original recipe, awesome and easy. I just made another one used a box of vanilla pudding and sprinkled cinnamon in dry ingredients and then sprinkled on top. Had to bake it about 1 hr I use a Bundt pan. Presentation is beautiful wish I could post a picture .
You can! On Pinterest – I’d love to see! You can also share in my Facebook group Celebrating Simple
Can this be done in a bread machine?
It’s so simple that I haven’t tested it – just takes 5 minutes hands on time (no knead) and bake! Enjoy!
The bread turned out great. I used brown bread flour, reduced the sugar to 1 1/2 cup (didn’t want it too sweet), added a little bit of cinnamon and used tonic water instead of eggs as I needed to make it vegan and it turned out great. I will definitely make it again.

Thank u so mch for d recipe…

Im looking for a bread recipe wto the use of yeast…
Thank you for this recipe, it came out perfectly!
Thank you! Hope you try more of my easy quick bread recipes!
This is the best!!! I live in the Caribbean during coronavirus. We are on lock down for another 2 weeks. To shop at the grocery store plan on standing in line out in the hot sun for 10-12 hrs. And not finding everything you need when you are finally allowed in. Particularly bread products I make my husband toasted English muffin or bagel whatever I can find . Nothing now so found this recipe as no yeast. Baked it in a Bundt pan exactly as recipe called but 50 min. Came out PERFECT. THIS IS A KEEPER. it also looks great coming out of Bundt pan . Next time I will add cinnamon . Will slice toast add some peanut butter. But it’s great by itself . Awesome recipe simple easy .
Thank you, Denise! Glad you enjoyed it.
It was very easy to make and tasted great !! I even added pecans to one loaf.
This looks delicious. I’m going to have to try this soon, especially since trying to find bread is like going on a scavenger hunt.
😂 Enjoy!
Can I use this recipe for my bread maker?
It’s so quick and easy, I haven’t tested it in a bread maker. 5 minutes, one dish and in the oven.
Could I make these into muffins?
Absolutely! Just reduce bake time. I’d start at 14 minutes.
Can you make this and leave brown sugar out? You
This is a sweet bread – if you’re looking for a more traditional bread without yeast, you’ll love this Beer Bread or with yeast Homemade Bread
I never usually bake- and lately I’ve been dying to. But I have no yeast in the pantry and with this shelter in place for the last couple of weeks… and yeast being one of the ingredients to fly off the shelves in grocery stores. I was unable to get any. But sweet google got me to the right recipe and ohhh am I so glad it did. This bread was gone by the end of the day. It was so good, in fact, that I just had to make more the next day. I never saw myself as a baker… oh boy did I think wrong. Absolutely mouthwatering delicious.
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
You’re an amazing baker, you just didn’t know it! Try my sweet bread or beer bread next! Both equally simple. Enjoy!
can I use self rising flour
I haven’t tested it, but you should be able to eliminating salt and baking powder.
I cut the brown sugar in half, used gluten free flour, and added 2 tsp. of cinnamon. Sprinkled the tops with sugar. So good.
Tried this recipe and absolutely loved it! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe!
Thank you, Jean!
This is an amazing recipe. I can’t bake for anything but made this with wholemeal flour and coconut oil. Baked for 50 minutes and it’s perfect. Thank you. I can’t believe I’ve done it. Needed bread due to self isolation. Stay safe and thanks again from St Andrews Scotland x
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Just made this, came out very good! Followed exactly as written with the only exception of adding cinnamon to the batter.
Yummmm!!
Thank you! I actually have my Cinnamon Bread adaptation listed here. Add a little on top for a nice crunch! I appreciate you taking the time to share and rate!
What can you use instead of eggs
Replace 1 egg with:
1 teaspoon baking soda and 1 tablespoon vinegar. Combine, then add to the mixture.
or
1/4 cup applesauce
This was absolutely delicious. It now my new favorite quick bread. Definitely easy to make. I added pecans to mine.
Thank you! Pecans are always a delicious idea! Hope you have a beautiful weekend!
If I use whole wheat flour, will it taste the same?
Similar – you can definitely substitute.
So easy to make and delicious! During this crisis brought about by the virus, we cannot go out to buy bread. I’m thankful I found this recipe. I added soaked chia seeds to my batter and it tasted really well. My family loved it. Thank you Julie for sharing this.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it!
is the batter supossed to be runny?
Yes, it’s a quick bread batter, not a dough, so it is a thinner consistency like pancakes, muffins, etc. Enjoy!
Can you substitute almond flour or coconut flour? I’m gluten free.
I haven’t tested it, but if you do, please let me know!
Can this be made with soy or almond milk instead?
I haven’t tested it, but readers have and reported positive results. Enjoy!
I’ve never been much of a baker but when I couldn’t find any bread or yeast in the store I went to Google and found your wonderful easy recipe! I used dried apricots and vanilla extract and it came out so good. Today, I’m going to try raisins and cinnamon. Any suggestions? Thank you and when this pandemic thing is over, I’ll still be making this easy peasy and tasty recipe 💙
Thank you! I actually have an array of quick breads you can try. Dried apricots sound amazing in it! Thanks for taking the time to share. Happy Baking!
I made this the other day with dried apricots. It was so easy and good! I thought I’d try raisins with cinnamon. Even when life gets back to “normal” I will continue to make this wonderful recipe! Thank you 🧡
Im going to try this. Is it ok since my oven is 250 degrees.
Definitely needs to be 350 degrees F
So easy and delicious. I had all the ingredients! Thank you for sharing.
Yay! Thanks for sharing, Maria!
I also made this with gluten free all purpose flour and it was perfect!
Thanks for sharing, Dina! That’s so helpful.
This recipe was so simple to make and when it was complete, I ate a piece while it was warm! Simply devine! I cut the recipe in half. I think the next time I make it, I would like to cut the sugar content down to 1/2 cup.
So glad you enjoyed it!
Two Questions:
1. I don’t even own one single loaf pan. Can I put them in like a cake pan or a baking sheet or something?
2. Only have olive oil in the house. Would that still be okay or is there something else I can use? Butter?
Just took the loaves out of the oven and they look and smell amazing!
Thanks for sharing, Wendi!
I tried your recipe but it is so sweet, i prepared another one but i used only 1 cup of sugar and add 1/2 tsp.baking soda thinking it will help from rising and it came out
a little softer. I reduced the sugar because of my mother who is pre-diabetic. I hope that whatever revision i made it will be ok to you.
Thank you very much because your recipe is a big help to us.
I’ll be trying more of your recipes.
Thanks a lot.
Can this bread be made using a bread maker?
I haven’t tested with a bread maker because it’s so simple, but if you do, please let me know.
Impatiently waiting for it to cool! It smells delicious and the recipe was so easy!
Ha! That’s the hard part. So glad you enjoyed making it. Thanks for sharing, Candice!
I just saw the whole recipe…had to scroll through more stuff…will definitely try since we will more than likely be on lockdown soon.
Enjoy!
We are devouring it right now! Did recipe in half for 1 loaf pan. With golden sugar and coconut oil coz I don’t have brown and veg oil. 50 min perfect! Did it w my 4 year old so prep time wasn’t just 5 min 😂 thank you!!!
Ha! But it was a lot sweeter for sure! Thanks for sharing, Karen! Hope you enjoy my other sweet bread recipes as well.
Just made this! Halved the recipe for 1 loaf pan. Added 1tsp vanilla, 1/4c honey, and 1/2c oats. Yummy.
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing your adaptations as well!
I made this and added vanilla bean paste. It was a hit in my house. It’s hard to please every one in my house with one thing but all my super picky eaters enjoyed it. I’ll definitely be using this recipe often, Experimenting with different add ins depending on the season.
Thanks for sharing, Amanda! I hope you try some of my other sweet bread recipes and muffins, too!
Delicious, added vanilla for extra flavor.
This recipe is fabulous! My whole house smells like a bakery! I followed the directions exactly and used 2 regular size loaf pans. They were perfect! Thank you for this recipe!
Tina
Thank you!
I only have one loaf pan, as I’m new to baking. Can the other half sit aside while the first bakes or should I definitely just do half a recipe?
It can rest while you wait for the pan or you can cut the recipe in half using the slider in my recipe card. Enjoy!
Hi! Is the serving size per mini loaf? It says 1g but that seems too small! I am working on counting my calories so want to make sure I am accurately tracking thank you!
Slice. Enjoy!
Can this still be made in a bread maker?
I’m sure it can, though I haven’t tested in a bread maker.
Maybe it was just me, but when I made it, it tasted quite floury. Other than that though, it was pretty good.
Try sifting the flour next time. When you scoop, it can become backed adding more flour.
Most enjoyable I could have taken it out sooner
Thanks for sharing, Annette!
Cant wait to make it. Thanks for sharing
Can you use EVOO instead of veg oil?
Yes, but it will change the flavor. Canola is the next best thing to vegetable oil for this recipe. You could also substitute butter. Enjoy!
So easy to do, thank you! Smells great, looks great, tastes great! Found it to be more like cake though, and maybe a little too sweet? But still delicious!
Thanks, Sally! It’s considered a “sweet bread” like muffins. You can reduce the amount of sugar if you prefer. Have a beautiful week!
This was so easy to make. I can’t wait to try it.
Thanks, Morgan! Enjoy!
Sorry, I missed the bk. pwd.
No problem at all! Enjoy!
? is the egg the only levening
Loved it.
the inside was good though
I cut the amount of ingredients in half and baked for 50 mins as you suggested but the inside is still partially uncooked! Also it is not holding together as I would expect a loaf of bread should! What went wrong?
I am giving it 4 stars because of this but it smells great! And my wife tasted a piece that fell off and liked it.
Bake time varies between oven and baking dish, so always use the toothpick test. Allow to cool before slicing. Unlike pound cake, this bread has a soft texture and delicate crumb.
It tastes amazing but the texture was a lot more like cake than bread. What did I do wrong?
It’s a sweet bread, so a mix in between, like muffins.
Second time
Thank you, Beverly! SO glad you enjoyed it!
I made this tonight and it was delicious. My son has been raving about it since his first bite and is requesting I make more already.
Oh gosh, thank you! So glad he enjoyed it!
Can I use olive oil or avocado oil in olace of veg. Oil?
I recommend canola oil, but you can use olive oil. It will change the flavor.
This bread is so good! I did have some modifications! I didn’t have enough milk so I used 1/2 cup of milk and 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream. Also, I did not want to use vegetable oil so I cut 2/3 cup of butter and melted it. It was fabulous!
Perfect! Thanks for sharing, Olivia!
What setting should I use for microwave convection mode when cutting this recope in half ? 180 degree celcius for 50bminutes ? Can I just replace brown sugar with white sugar without changing anything else ? And what to do if I do not want to use eggs ? Thanks.
Do you think this could be baked in an iron skillet, like old fashioned Appalachian Sweet Bread? My grandmother used to make what she called “Sweet Bread” in an iron skillet. It wasn’t quite as sweet as cake, but it was cake-like, which this recipe seems to be. Either way, this recipe is going on my list of “must try this!” recipes, along with your original Sweet Bread recipe.
Absolutely! You’ll need to play with bake time as cast iron is hotter. Can’t wait to hear what you think!
Trying to wean my husband from processed grocery store cakes. I made your Sweet Bread and he loved it. Now I will try this one. Thank you for adding all the potential add-ins.
Thank you, Lee! Glad you enjoyed it! For a truly special treat, try one of my cheesecake breads!
I made this and it ended up tasting like cornbread, but not mad because it’s amazing!
Hmmmm! I can’t imagine why! Did you use all purpose flour? So glad you still enjoyed it!
Hi, i literally just got back from getting the groceries to bake this, then realized i had mistaken my bag of sugar for a bag of flour. Ahh dangit. Next time i will not be duped!!
Oh no! That’s the worst. We’ve all been there. Hope you get to try it soon! Happy New Year!
My family was obsessed over this bread! And it was so unbelievably easy. Thanks so so much.
Do you think this could work as more of a savory bread instead of sweet? How would taking out the brown sugar completely affect the recipe? Just curious!
i have a loaf pan 11×5, how long to cook in this pan?
I’m not sure what size your particular loaf pan is, but you can make 2 – 1 pound loaf pans or cut the recipe in half for just 1 loaf pan and bake 50 minutes or until it passes the toothpick test.
Recipe sounds delicious!!
Am trying to adapt it to make a “faster” (no yeast/no knead) Day of the Dead Bread … I teach Spanish to 150 kids each trimester … no way I can do a traditional recipe … not enough time or hands!
So …
Could I put the batter in a round cake/bundt/angel food pan (to get the roundness)??
How would this affect amount of dough needed AND
baking time?
How many servings are in your original recipe? Would the “round version” allow for more servings?
Appreciate any input …
Thanks very much for your help with this dilemma ?‼️
I would bet you have to double the batch and I’m sure you’ll have to extend bake time using the toothpick test.
I made it!! Super easy and quick recipe to make. I’m definitely making it again. Serves as a great dessert too.
Thanks for sharing!
Two regular loaf pans, 50 minutes, came out delicious but more like a cake than a bread. Any suggestions for next time to make it more bread like?
I made this yesterday, and it was absolutely delicious! I added dried cranberries and some honey roasted pecans I had in the pantry. The whole house smelled like Autumn.
So glad you enjoyed it!
I did the brown sugar bred. Wonderful!
What do I need to do to get a pumpkin bread outta this re ipe?
Try this easy Pumpkin Pound Cake – it’s amazing!
Have you ever tried the vegan substitute eggs with this recipe?
I have not, but if you do, please let me know how they work! I’m sure others are curious as well.
You mentioned molasses a couple of times, but I don’t see it in the recipe. Am I missing something?
there’s molasses in brown sugar. enjoy!
Can you use this recipe in a bread machine
I haven’t tested it, but if you try it please do let me know!
Just made this. I halved the recipe, added some dried fruit mix & made muffins. Really tasty! Easy to make & quick. Thanks!
It’s such an easy recipe to make. I really like it. I have a batch in the oven now. I’m hoping the bread can be used to make Monte Cristo sandwiches. But my young daughter even likes the ease and hopefully it will get her in the kitchen too.
Thanks for this recipe. Never heard of it, but glad I can try it
Hi Deya! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Hope you give some of my other easy bread recipes a try, too!
I can’t wait to slice it. So yummy
I found this recipe on Pinterest and thought it would be nice for strawberry shortcake instead of biscuits. This is definitely a keeper. We loved it. Can’t wait to use it again for other fruits as they come in season and it is so easy to make. Many thanks♥️♥️♥️
Thank you, Debby!
OMG this is a very good recipe and it couldn’t be easier, I added 1c. of organic rolled oats and a teaspoon of vanilla extract a dash of cinnamon and used almond milk instead of regular milk next time I’ll add chopped pecans too
Yay! Thanks for sharing your twist! Soudns delish!
I’ve only tasted this batter, but as an expert batter taster, I’m certain this is a keeper!
Still 40 minutes until we can actually sample the bread, but it’s a 4-star batter!
Ha! Love it! I feel like I excel in that as well.
This is the best bread ever! So delicious!
Obsessed with this bread recipe! Always a fan of a good no yeast bread recipe.
You can’t beat a bread that takes 5 minutes to prepare and 40 minutes to bake! So easy and delicious!
This sounds absolutely amazing!
I don’t see where there is a temperature to bake this bread. I baked at 350, but just in case can you tell us the correct baking temperature? Thanks so much.
Sorry for the delay in response but hopefully you saw it is 350 in the recipe card.
Hope you enjoyed it!
Such a stunning and delicious bread recipe. SO GOOD!
Such a good recipe! I make this bread all the time.
It’s so easy to eat the whole loaf! It’s delicious!
Oh this bread sounds delicious. Bread is a weakness of mine. lol
I just need a big cup of tea and I am in heaven!
One of my favorite bread recipes!!! So delicious and super simple to make!
My first time making this recipe, I haven’t even tried it yet but if it tastes as good as it’s making the house smell then I’m in for a treat! I doubled the recipe thinking I’d make two loafs and it turned out to be more than thought as it filled my 2qt bread pan, 12 cupcake tins, and two mini loaf pans….so I’ll probably be giving some away depending on how it turns out lol.
Thanks for sharing! There’s nothing like the aroma of sweet bread in the oven. Enjoy!
Have you tried making this bread with coconut flour?
I have not, but if you do please let me know!
The bread looks so amazing! I just can’t wait to try it
when making the brown sugar bread do you use the same recipe as your sweet bread recipe?
I sure do! I decided to mix it up one day and we all loved the twist. Now it’s a staple in our home. Hope you enjoy it, too!
How long do you bake the mini loafs?
.
40 minutes, enjoy!
This bread is so easy and absolutely delicious! It’s now in my rotation of hostess gifts!
Awesome recipe! Thank you so much. Added coconut flakes the first time I made it as I didn’t have enough flour and it was so delicious and I’ve made it 2 times already in less than 5days. My children love it and call it cake!??
Yay! I’m so glad you love it, too!
This is so simple that I didn’t believe it. So, I made it. OMG it’s simple and delicious! I’ve made it twice in one week! It comes out of the oven and just flies out of the pan. I make it in a (5lb) ceramic roast pan. It takes 20 minutes longer but, well worth the wait!
I am SO glad you love it as well! Thank you so much for taking the time to share. It truly made my day!
What were the measurements of your pan, I have 8in X 3 3/4 X 2 1/2. Is that small enough?
Of course! You can bake excess batter in another pan if you’d like. You’ll just need to adjust your baking time. Enjoy!
Easy to make and very tasty.
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing!
Can I use less sugar? This seems a lot.
I haven’t tested it with less sugar, but if you do, let me know!
I am just now baking two loaves and anxiously awaiting til it gets done…out of the oven and looks and smells delish… Will taste it real soon…can’t wait…from the looks, will be delicious!!!!!Thank you for sharing… Will follow you more. Karen
Thank you SO much, Karen! I hope you enjoyed it!
Totally going to try this!
Looks so good! but could I make it in a regular sized loaf pan? How long would It take in the oven do you think?
You certainly can, but it will be a little more cake-like. You’ll need to reduce baking time.
Simply delicious, very impressive & super easy! Fills the home with such a warm aroma!! Definitely a crowd pleaser!
Next time will try whole wheat flour and coconut sugar!
Thank you, Sue, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! If you try with whole wheat and coconut sugar, let me know! I’d love to hear how it works/tastes!
What temperature do you bake on?
350 degrees, enjoy!
I don’t have a lot of patience for yeast doughs. Quick breads are definitely the way to go!
Yum! Homemade bread is the absolute best! Looks delicious!
WOW!! This sounds incredibly delicious!! Can’t wait to try it!!
This Brown Sugar Bread is so good! The perfect Fall recipe!
This was so yummy and easy. I am NOT good at baking and this is now my favorite and go-to bread. Thank you.
I just made this it was easy and quick it looks really great I can wait to try it
Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
I have a batch in the oven right now and I can’t wait to taste it!
What kind of flour do you use?
All purpose, enjoy!
I’ve never heard of brown sugar bread but I definitely want to try this!!!
I’m obsessed with this! I’ve always wanted a base quick bread recipe I could memorize and tweak for different flavors! This is it! Last week, I did the plain sugar quick bread (I was out of brown sugar )-: ) and did a lemon glaze. Perfect. Today I added a layer of brown sugar and cinnamon to the middle and top of each loaf of the brown sugar version. Perfect for fall! Thanks for coming up with this!
Sounds so delicious – love how you adapted it! Hope you’re having a beautiful fall!
Ooooh! Looks yummy! I’ll be making this today!
