Tea Brack

This Irish Tea Brack is such a fun and unique addition to your quick bread rotation — dried fruits are soaked in tea and baked into a hearty whole wheat loaf that is somewhere between a coffee cake and a sweet bread. It is perfect for St. Patrick’s Day or any time you want something a little different on the breakfast table.

There is something truly magical about pulling a fresh loaf out of the oven, and the best part? You don’t have to wait for yeast to do its thing.

Quick breads are one of my favorite things to bake because they come together so easily with ingredients you likely already have on hand. Whether I’m staring down a bunch of overripe bananas, or just craving something warm and cozy to enjoy with a cup of coffee, a quick bread is always the answer.

They are perfect for a grab-and-go breakfast for Little Dude, a leisurely weekend brunch, or a simple afternoon snack. You can even gift a few mini loaves to friends and family and really make their day.

From sweet cinnamon swirled loaves to a savory skillet cornbread that pairs perfectly with a bowl of soup, I have rounded up some of my very favorites right here. Grab your mixing bowl — let’s get baking!
