🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat Oven & Prepare Pan

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. Cream Butter & Sugar

In a large bowl, beat softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.

4. Combine Wet & Dry Ingredients

Add half of the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, followed by sour cream, then the remaining dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

5. Fold in Sprinkles

Gently fold in festive colored sprinkles, keeping the batter light and fluffy.

6. Bake

Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle extra sprinkles on top for decoration.
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7. Cool & Serve

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!

💡 Tips for Success

Don’t overmix the batter to prevent dense bread.

Use quality sprinkles—avoid those that bleed too much color.
Room temperature ingredients help the batter mix evenly.
Optional glaze: Drizzle with a simple powdered sugar glaze for extra sweetness.

Make ahead: Wrap cooled bread in plastic wrap; it stays fresh for 2–3 days.

🔄 Variations

Chocolate Funfetti: Add ½ cup mini chocolate chips to the batter.
Cinnamon Swirl Funfetti: Swirl cinnamon sugar in the batter before baking.

Gluten-Free: Substitute with a gluten-free flour blend.
Mini Loaves: Bake in mini loaf pans for individual giftable treats.

🧊 Storage

Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 2–3 days.

• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted & cooled
• 2 large eggs
