Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
Additional Ingredients
- 1 cup Fruity Pebbles cereal (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasonings.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, creating a creamy base for the batter.
- Add Eggs and Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the plain yogurt (or sour cream), vanilla extract, and milk until you achieve a smooth and homogeneous batter.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can make the bread dense.
- Fold in Cereals: Carefully stir in 1 cup of Fruity Pebbles cereal, evenly distributing the colorful bits throughout the batter.
- Pour Batter and Add Topping: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle a handful of extra Fruity Pebbles cereal on top for added color and crunch.
- Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then remove it from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- For an extra sweet touch, drizzle the cooled bread with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
- Best eaten within 1–2 days for peak texture, as the cereal softens over time.
- Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness.
- You can substitute yogurt with sour cream depending on your preference.
