🍓 Cinnamon Rhubarb Bread

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together:

Flour
Baking soda
Baking powder
Salt
Ground cinnamon

Set aside.

Step 3: Blend Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk:

Egg
Brown sugar
Granulated sugar
Buttermilk
Oil
Vanilla extract

Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Combine and Fold

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until just combined — do not overmix.

Gently fold in:

Chopped rhubarb
Strawberries (if using)
Nuts (optional)

The batter will be thick and slightly lumpy — that’s perfect.

Step 5: Add the Cinnamon Sugar Topping (Optional)

In a small bowl, mix:

2 tablespoons brown sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon melted butter

Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter once poured into the loaf pan. It will create a crunchy, flavorful crust.

Step 6: Bake

Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Check at the 50-minute mark to avoid overbaking — you want it moist, not dry.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. This bread is delicious slightly warm, but even better the next day as the flavors meld.

Serving Suggestions

With Butter: A thick slice slathered in salted butter is divine.
Toasted: Slightly toast a slice and drizzle with honey or cream cheese.
Dessert Style: Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Storage Tips

Room Temp: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Refrigerate: Keeps for up to 1 week when refrigerated.
Freeze: Wrap tightly in plastic and foil. Freeze for up to 3 months.
