Fluffy Pancake Bread

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• Butter for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
5. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Drizzle 1/4 cup of maple syrup over the batter, then use a knife to swirl the syrup into the batter.
6. Pour the remaining batter on top and drizzle with the remaining 1/4 cup of maple syrup. Swirl the syrup into the batter once more.
7. Bake the pancake bread for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it and transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Slice the fluffy pancake bread and serve warm with butter and extra maple syrup, if desired.
