Quick Bread Recipe No Yeast Required

To make this easy quick bread recipe, you will need the following ingredients (see the recipe card below for exact amounts):

• All-purpose flour
• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• Salt
• Garlic powder
• Butter: I used salted butter, but feel free to use unsalted butter.
• Buttermilk: you can also use either whole or 2% milk. Add in 2 teaspoons of either lemon juice or distilled white vinegar before adding the milk to the batter to sour the milk.
• Cheddar cheese: Feel free to experiment with the type of cheese used in this recipe. I tend to like the classic taste of cheddar cheese, but you can spice things up with pepper jack cheese, or even think about using Parmesan cheese.
• Eggs
• Chives: You can substitute the chives with sliced green onions.
• Sugar, granulated
