Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Raisins
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt.

Step 3

Stir the raisins into the dry ingredients, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can lead to a dense quick bread.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the bread—it should come out clean or with a few crumbs.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve plain or with a smear of butter for added richness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
