Instructions
- Grease a loaf pan and line with parchment. Preheat oven to 350ºF.

- Gently stir dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. Be careful no to over mix.
- Transfer batter to the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle with Demerara sugar, if using.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clan.
- Let loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.*
Notes
*You can also eat it warm if you aren’t too concerned with getting a perfect slice! It’s also great toasted in a bit of butter the next day! Even better served warm with some vanilla ice cream as a fun dessert 🙂
