Quick Bread Recipes

Quick breads are quick and easy to make because you make them without yeast. There's no waiting for these breads to rise, just mix up the ingredients, pour in a loaf pan, and pop in the oven. In about an hour, you'll have piping hot bread good for breakfast, snacking, and just about any time!

Quick breads, like banana nut bread, zucchini bread, and even pumpkin nut bread, are fun to make for kids, too. They are a great way to introduces kids to baking (with supervision, of course). Doubling a recipe and baking several loaves at a time cuts your time in the kitchen, too.

Baking Tips

• Quick breads make excellent holiday treats. Try using mini-loaf pans and bake two or three varieties. Put them in a basket with some festive decorations and you have the perfect gift for co-workers, neighbors, and friends!
• Most recipes make good muffins, too. Use a 12-cup muffin tin or bake in tiny loaf pans for breakfast treats that are healthy and hearty.
• Try using buttermilk instead of milk or water for added taste and lower fat.
• Most loaves freeze well; just wrap them securely in plastic wrap and place in the freezer.
