Before I began to like baking, my go-to recipes were quick breads. They are easy to make and I could often find all the ingredients in my refrigerator and pantry. And they always were very successful and delicious!

My grandmother and mother could whip up the yummiest quick breads, especially with overripe bananas! See my Streusel Topped Banana Bread recipe HERE.

I have many favorite quick breads, and like my children, I can’t pick a favorite! However, Almond Quick Bread has the most beautiful flavor and is often a base for making other wonderful quick bread!

A quick bread uses baking powder and or baking soda as a leaven. The addition of eggs also adds to the rise of this bread that easily comes together.

Almond Pulp Banana Bread

Cake-like but has a denser crumb which makes it perfect to eat along with your favorite drink. Slather butter or jam or honey on it and you will love it! It also is great grilled or toasted too.

Then mix the wet ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. I like to whip the butter and sugar first until it is light and fluffy in a stand mixer.

Make sure to grease your loaf pans well. To ensure easy removal from the pans make slings from parchment paper and put them in the pan before adding the batter.

When the pan comes out of the oven put it on a cooling rack for 10 minutes until you turn the bread out of the pan. Rest the loaves on a wire rack until they are totally cooled.

Mix 1/2 cup of sugar and 2 Tablespoons of cinnamon in a bowl to make cinnamon sugar. Add half of the batter into the pan and half of the cinnamon sugar. Swirl with a knife. Add the rest of the batter and repeat.

Add 1/2 to 1 cup of fresh cranberries to the batter along with 1 Tablespoon of orange zest to make my favorite Cranberry Orange Quick Bread.

Yes! The top of the bread bakes quicker than the inside. So when the inside starts to bake it rises and cracks the top. Think of it as a very pretty individual part of your bread.

Although the top crust of your bread has cooked the inside was not done and could not support the top of your quick bread. Make sure you do the toothpick test so you can be sure your bread is done.

There is no yeast in a quick bread, so it is quick to make. The baking powder is the leaven in this bead and gives it rise. The eggs and milk also help too.This almond bread is perfect toasted up for breakfast, or next to a glorious cup of tea for an afternoon snack. We love the extra boost...

One thing I love to bake for a quick breakfast, brunch, or snack is different varieties of breads. A few of my favorites include strawberry and banana bread. This past month though we added a new favorite to our list, Almond Bread.

As soon as this delicious bread was pulled out of the oven, my son was eyeing it. I could see him coming up beside me ready to instantly grab a piece of bread. Luckily, I was standing there, because he would have been fooled

 had a throbbing hand if he had grabbed that fresh-out-of-the-oven bread. After it cooled a bit, he could not stay out of it!

The key ingredient in this bread is the almond paste. The almond paste actually took me quite a while to find at the store, it is in the baking aisle and at my store it was near the coconut oils. This was actually my first time using almond paste in a recipe; it acts as filler to the bread.

After purchasing the almond paste, I learned that it is also easy to make at home too if you prefer a homemade version.

I also decided to adapt the recipe a bit and add slivered almonds to the batter as well as the top of the bread. The slivered almonds gave it texture and added a new element.

This bread would make the perfect edition this summer season for a treat before heading off on a summer adventure. It could also be stored easily to take with you if you are heading off on vacation, a tasty treat for road trips!

I’ll warn you too, when I make this bread, it only lasts maybe a day around our house, and that’s if I’m lucky.
