Description

This Buttermilk Rhubarb Bread combines the tartness of rhubarb with the sweet moisture of buttermilk, creating a delightful loaf that’s perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 3/4 cups brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup canola oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cups rhubarb
  • 1 cup pecans
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, brown sugar, canola oil, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the diced rhubarb and chopped pecans.
  5. In another bowl, prepare the topping by combining the flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the topping evenly over the batter.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool before slicing.

Notes

For best results, use fresh rhubarb. This bread can also be frozen for later enjoyment.
