How to Make Bean Bread

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, and egg.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the drained and rinsed pinto beans.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
