Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or cast iron skillet.

  • Combine wet and dry – Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm with butter or honey!

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add chopped pecans or dried cranberries to the batter.
  • To make it dairy-free, substitute buttermilk with almond milk and butter with coconut oil.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
