  • Yield: 1 loaf (8–10 slices) 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk (or regular milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until smooth.
  4. Add oil, buttermilk, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and stir until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in chopped rhubarb and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Lightly toss rhubarb with 1 teaspoon flour before folding into batter to prevent sinking.
  • Do not overmix to keep the bread tender and moist.
  • If using frozen rhubarb, add it directly without thawing.
  • Store tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze wrapped loaf for up to 2 months.
