    Chai Loaves

    One of my favorite things in cooler weather is chai.  It’s so comforting and warm and delicious!  When we were first moved to Boston and did not yet have internet in the apartment, I spent a lot of time at a local coffee shop in my neighborhood drinking chai after chai while working.  That coffee shop has the best chai: it’s so light and foamy and delicious! I wanted to create a chai dessert that resembled those traits: light, fluffy, and delicious!  I think this recipe for mini Chai Loaves achieves exactly that!

    How to make Chai Loaves

    These are so incredibly easy to make! You'll start by beating the butter and sugar together. Then you'll add the eggs, followed by the chai, and ending with the addition of the dry ingredients. That's it! Your batter is ready!

Behind the sliced chai loaf toward the left is a white mug with colorful hearts that says love is love, and next to the sliced chai loaf to the right, cut off in the frame, is a matching mug, but without the words

    I bake these in a mini loaf pan, which is similar to a cupcake tin, but they are rectangular holes to make perfect little mini loaves.  You could also make this recipe in a full-size loaf pan, but note that the bake time will be longer.

    These have a perfect light and subtle flavor, but are so soft and moist and delicious.  These are great for gifts, or an afternoon snack, or even make a perfect breakfast!

    Looking for a little extra flavor? Try Pumpkin Chai Bread!

    About Liz

    A headshot of Liz holding Gizmo, a small Yorkie with his tongue out.

    I started creating my own recipes when I realized that baking blogs usually shared complicated and time-consuming recipes that needed a lot of kitchen equipment and a lot of ingredients. But I knew that baking did not need to be difficult! As much as I love to make these super simple recipes for my friends and family, I also love being able to share them with you!
