Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

2 cups light brown sugar (packed)
4 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

2 large eggs
2 cups milk
⅔ cup vegetable oil

Instructions

Preheat Oven and Prepare Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease six miniature loaf pans thoroughly to prevent sticking and set them aside.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Make sure the baking powder is evenly distributed for a consistent rise.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl or using a stand mixer, beat the eggs, milk, and vegetable oil until smooth and well combined. This will help create a uniform batter.
Blend Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
Fill Pans: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans, filling each about an inch below the rim to allow room for rising. Optionally, sprinkle sugar or chopped nuts on top for added texture and sweetness.
Bake: Place the loaf pans in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This indicates the bread is fully cooked.
Cool and Serve: Remove the pans from the oven and allow the bread to cool for about 10 minutes. Then, gently remove the loaves from the pans and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Notes

The bread is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
You can substitute the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier twist, but the bread might be denser.
For a dairy-free option, replace milk with almond milk or another plant-based milk.
Adding a teaspoon of cinnamon can complement the brown sugar flavor beautifully.
This recipe yields six miniature loaves, perfect for gifting or portion control.
