Other Ingredients to Try:

* Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for an extra boost of flavor.
* Replace 1/4 cup of flour with 1/4 cup of mashed cooked sweet potatoes for added nutrition.
* Use coconut oil instead of unsalted butter for a dairy-free option.
Tips and Variations:
* Make muffins instead of a loaf by dividing the batter evenly among 12 muffin cups.
* Try using different types of flour, such as almond flour or coconut flour, for a gluten-free option.
* Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
