Another Monday, another reason for sprinkles. Can I get an AMEN?

The truth of the matter is that today is a pretty special day, and there’s a second star of the show aside from about a billion sprinkles, and that star is my friend Sally from Sally’s Baking Addiction.

Surely you know Sally. She’s everywhere. She’s a master of cookies, the closet candy lady, and, lucky for me, a dear friend of mine.

Not only has she helped me with the serious/real side of blogging over several Panera meals and often panicky text messages, she has given me photography tips, given me Pinterest help, and, as actual friends do, quoted Friends and HIMYM with me when I just need someone to laugh with.

Although I haven’t actually seen her in person since before I had my son, she has kept in touch with me despite her insanely busy life (I mean, she’s like the best food blogger there is!), and I think it’s only right we spend today celebrating Sally and the sweet baby she’s expecting in a few weeks!

This bread is pretty simple. It’s sort of a plain quick bread, but there are a few things that make it a bit special. For one, we’ll be working with not just vanilla extract but also almond extract.

It’s no secret that almond extract brings the “funfetti” taste to anything it touches, but the combo of vanilla + almond make this bread the perfect vehicle for a ton of sprinkles.

It’s sort of a buttermilk type bread, since you’ll be working with Greek yogurt (tangy like buttermilk), but the subtle extracts kick it up a notch and make it easy to jazz this bread up with whatever color or type of sprinkles you like, and maybe even some chocolate chips if you’re feeling fancy!

We loved this bread by itself, but I also tried it spread with a little cream cheese, and Matt actually made two slices into a breakfast sandwich…

He swears it was absolutely delicious.

This funfetti quick bread it so easy and so quick (how about that) to pull together that you’ll be tempted to bake up a loaf as soon as one runs out. And that would be totally ok because everyone could use a daily dose of sprinkles and in the form of sweet, buttermilky bread?

Yes, please!

  1. This Funfetti Quick Bread looks magical. I am pretty sure sprinkles make everything better. Pinned. 🙂

    Congrats to Sally! I am also a fan! She’s one of the first bloggers I started following when I began my blogging journey. That girl seriously has some energy; I cannot believe all that she seems to accomplish in such a short amount of time. Good for her! 🙂

    Thanks for sharing! I look forward to trying this quick bread!!

  2. Everything looks amazing. I would love to be surrounded by all of these sprinkled goodies and all of you wonderful women, celebrating Sally & her growing family. She is the best! This quick bread is calling my name though, I have been all about the quick breads lately!

  3. So excited for Sally! I love the look of this happy quick bread! I can definitely see myself celebrating with a slice very soon. And I love the idea of spreading it with cream cheese…or Nutella…..

  4. 5 stars
    Love this recipe! I’ve made it several times now and the whole loaf is gone in 2 days, my kids love it. My oven takes a bit longer to bake it through, I leave it in for about 48 minutes. I find you can get the same funfetti effect with just a 1/4 cup of sprinkles too!

  5. I’m about to make this. 1 problem though. What size loaf pan? I must be blind because I’ve read over and over and all I see, is put in prepared loaf pan. Nothing about what size! Since I have a variety of sizes…ummm….
    Pick a pan any pan! Lol

      Thank you! I went to get my rainbow sprinkles and I’m out! How did that happen? Chocolate chips to the rescue! I had an 8×4 pan prepared. I thought it was done. Looked done, passed toothpick test. It’s a lil undone in the center. Taste is phenomenal, though! Can’t wait to get sprinkles!
