INGREDIENTS- Baking Soda: ½ tsp, gives the bread its lift
- Salt: ¼ tsp, enhances the sweet flavors
- Unsalted Butter: ½ cup, softened, makes everything rich
- Granulated Sugar: 1 cup, for sweetness
- Large Eggs: 2, hold everything together
- Vanilla Extract: 1 tsp, adds depth
- Buttermilk: ¾ cup, creates a soft texture
- Fruity Pebbles Cereal: 1 cup, plus extra for topping, brings the fun factor
- All-Purpose Flour: 2 ½ cups, forms the base
- Baking Powder: 1 tsp, helps it rise
- Step 7:
- Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then move to a wire rack until completely cooled before you slice it.
- Step 6:
- Spoon the batter into your loaf pan and sprinkle extra Fruity Pebbles on top. Bake for 50-55 minutes until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean.
- Step 5:
- Gently mix 1 cup of Fruity Pebbles into your batter.
- Step 4:
- Add dry ingredients to the butter mixture bit by bit, switching between dry stuff and buttermilk. Start with dry and end with dry. Mix just until combined.
- Step 3:
- In a big bowl, beat the soft butter and sugar until it's fluffy (about 3-4 minutes). Add eggs one by one, mixing well after each. Stir in the vanilla.
- Step 2:
- Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
- Step 1:
- Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper so the bread won't stick.
- Keep what's left in a sealed container at room temp for up to 3 days.
- Want it extra moist? Brush on some simple syrup (mix equal parts sugar and water).
- Toss in some food coloring drops if you want your loaf even more colorful.

FAQsCan I use regular milk instead of buttermilk?
Sure thing! Buttermilk makes it tender, but you can make your own by adding a teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk.
How do I keep the Fruity Pebbles from getting soggy?
Sprinkle some extra cereal on top right before you put it in the oven for the best crunch.
Can I freeze this bread?
Absolutely! Wrap it tight in plastic and pop it in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just let it thaw on the counter before you eat it.
