A delightful almond-flavored bread perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two loaf pans.
Greasing the pans ensures the bread doesn't stick, making it easier to remove.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Mixing the dry ingredients first ensures even distribution of the leavening agents.
Add the eggs, milk, honey, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and beat at medium speed for 2 minutes.
Mixing at medium speed incorporates air, making the batter light and fluffy.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans.
Dividing the batter evenly ensures both loaves bake at the same rate.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the top of each loaf.
Press the almonds gently into the batter to help them adhere during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check the loaves a few minutes before the timer ends to prevent overbaking.
Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Cooling on a rack prevents the bottom from becoming soggy.
Slice and serve your Honey Almond Morning Loaf with your favorite spread or topping.
Serve with a drizzle of honey or a pat of butter for added flavor.
