  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar

How to Make Christmas Funfetti Quick Bread

  1. Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and sour cream (or yogurt). Mix until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Carefully fold in the Christmas sprinkles to prevent the colors from bleeding into the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top evenly.
  8. Sprinkle extra sugar and festive sprinkles on top for a crunchy bakery-style finish.
  9. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the top is golden and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Allow the quick bread to cool completely before slicing for neat cuts and vibrant sprinkles.

Tips for the Best Funfetti Bread

  • Use jimmies-style sprinkles instead of nonpareils to avoid color bleeding.
  • Do not overmix the batter or the bread may become dense.
  • Let the loaf cool fully before slicing to keep the texture soft and moist.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I freeze Christmas Funfetti Bread?

Yes! Wrap the cooled loaf tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months.

What sprinkles work best?

Red and green jimmies are ideal because they hold their color during baking.

Can I use yogurt instead of sour cream?

Absolutely. Plain yogurt works perfectly and keeps the bread moist.
