Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter
- ½ cup (120g) sour cream
Cereal Ingredients:
- 1 cup Fruity Pebbles cereal
- Additional Fruity Pebbles for topping
Leavening and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Thoroughly coat a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
- Combine 2 cups (240g) flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk until evenly blended.
- Use an electric mixer to cream ½ cup (113g) softened butter with 1 cup (200g) sugar until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Incorporate 2 large eggs into the butter mixture one at a time, thoroughly mixing after each egg. Blend in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Fold ½ cup (120g) sour cream and ½ cup (120ml) milk into the mixture. The texture might appear slightly curdled, which is completely normal.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
- Gently fold 1 cup of Fruity Pebbles cereal into the batter, ensuring even distribution.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the surface and generously sprinkle additional Fruity Pebbles across the top.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—it should come out clean.
- Remove from oven and allow the bread to rest in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Ensure butter is at room temperature for the smoothest mixing and fluffiest texture.
- Don’t overmix the batter, which can make the bread tough and dense.
- If baking for someone with gluten sensitivity, swap the flour for a gluten-free blend that measures cup-for-cup.
- Save extra Fruity Pebbles for a colorful garnish right before serving to maintain their crunch.
