Notes
Tips for making quick breads
When mixing wet and dry ingredients together, don't overmix. Just stir until combined.
Be certain your oven is fully preheated
Allow bread to fully cool before slicing. This is the hardest part! It's very tempting to slice into a loaf while still warm. It will taste delicious, but will often be very crumbly.
Remove bread after cooling for 10 minutes in pan
Use a knife around the edge of the pan to release any bread stuck to the sides of the pan.
