These quick bread recipes are cheap, easy, and oh so delicious! Make one for breakfast, snacks, desserts, or any time you want.
My family is just a little bit obsessed with quick bread recipes.
Our daughter took quick breads as a project for 4-H, and ever since she has been a bread making machine.
And we don’t even try to stop her.
One reason I love quick breads is because they almost always knock off my list of expectations when it comes to food.
It’s gotta be…
- quick
- cheap
- easy
- use normal ingredients
Here are some of our absolute favorites.

Jump to Recipe
Visiting an apple orchard has become a must do every fall.
And it was such a great deal for us, this year! We were able to pick apples for about $1 per pound.
Soooo, I came home with like 70 lbs of apples.
Yikes!
I mean, I had some ideas as to how I would use up 70 lbs of apples. But still! That’s a lot of apples!
Well, one MUST have for us this year was apple bread.
It is so full of flavor! Moist (sorry, but it’s the right word here) and delicious, it just tastes like the perfect fall snack.
Plus, you can throw it together in no time. And what mom can resist that?
