Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together:
Flour
Baking powder
Baking soda
Salt
Step 3: Cream Butter and Sugar
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in vanilla extract.
Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk.
Start and end with the dry ingredients.
Stir just until combined; do not overmix.
Step 5: Add Fruity Pebbles
Gently fold 1 cup of Fruity Pebbles into the batter.
Mix until evenly distributed.
Step 6: Bake the Bread
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Sprinkle a small handful of Fruity Pebbles over the top.
Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
> Enjoy a bright, beautiful slice for breakfast, snack, or dessert!

Tips for Success
Don’t overmix the batter: A few lumps are okay!
Keep Fruity Pebbles whole: Stir gently to prevent crushing them.
Use fresh buttermilk: It keeps the loaf extra moist and tender.
Cover with foil if needed: If the top starts browning too quickly, loosely cover with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
