Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup buttermilk
• 1.5 cups fresh rhubarb, diced
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the sugar mixture. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the diced rhubarb and walnuts, if using, until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
