Golden Vanilla Mini Loaves sound delicious! Here’s a simple recipe for soft, moist mini loaves bursting with vanilla flavor and a beautiful golden crust:
🍞 Golden Vanilla Mini Loaves
Ingredients:
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ¾ cup buttermilk (or milk + 1 tsp lemon juice/vinegar, let sit 5 minutes)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line 6 mini loaf pans with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream butter & sugar: In a large bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add eggs & vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
- Combine wet and dry: Alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined — don’t overmix!
- Fill pans: Divide batter evenly among the mini loaf pans.
- Bake: Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Let loaves cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Optional: Vanilla Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tbsp milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Mix glaze ingredients until smooth and drizzle over cooled loaves for a sweet finishing touch.
