Vanilla Bean Bread

August 21, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 23 Comments

Hi Everyone,

One of my all time favorite flavors is vanilla!  I swear I could drink it, if the extract actually tasted good!  I love the smell of vanilla too!  I used to always buy Victoria Secrets Vanilla Lace lotion, mmmm, that smelled good.  However, what I noticed is when I wore it, I was craving chocolate chip cookies all of the time.  Crazy isn’t it?  I guess it’s because I smelled vanilla all day.  So with my love of vanilla bean, today I made a Vanilla Bean Quick Bread.  This recipe by far exceeded my expectations.

Vanilla Bean Bread

This bread tastes like vanilla cake to me.  It’s chock full of vanilla flavor.  To vanilla it up, I used vanilla extract, vanilla bean and Wallaby Vanilla Kefir.  The flavor of vanilla shines through this bread!!!  If you’re a vanilla fan, this is the bread for you!

Vanilla Bean Bread


The bread turned out moist and is rich with vanilla flavor.  It’s super easy to make too!  I used one bowl to make it.  I really try to cut corners when it comes to excess dishes.  I made my wet mixture with egg whites, sugar, all my vanilla ingredients, gave it  a mix then topped with my flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.  Give is stir and it all came together perfectly.  I baked my mini loaves for 25 minutes and it turned out perfect!!

Vanilla Bean Bread

If you do not have vanilla keifer, don’t worry, my guess is vanilla yogurt will work wonderful in its place.  Just replace the kefir with equal amounts of vanilla yogurt.  I would imagine the taste will be the same and you will still have a moist delicious bread!

Vanilla Bean Bread

I didn’t want to do it, due to calories, but I would imagine this bread would be friggen amazing with a vanilla frosting or vanilla flavored glaze over the top.  But by its self this bread is amazing!!!  This would be perfect to go with your morning coffee or as an evening dessert with a dollop of ice cream or yogurt!!

Time to start cooking some more.  I”m falling behind on my recipes and I need to get cracking at them, since this coming weekend I will be traveling again.  This time I am heading to Baton Rouge for a foodie filled weekend.  It will be a short trip, but a fun and long one.  I will fill you in on my trip when I get home!

Have a great day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    I hated vanilla fragrance as a kid, but I love it now! I read that you can lose weight with vanilla candles because the fragrance satisfies sweet cravings – the dury is out on that one!

    This looks delicious! Could I use oat flour in stead of whole wheat?

      Hi Stacey! I would say give it a try and see how it turns out. I never thought of using oat flour in bread.

    Ohhhh my I love how light this recipe is YAYYYYY! You freaking amaze me sometimes. It is hard to come up with low fat recipes sometimes it takes a lot of experimentation. So I am blown away. I noticed you cannot get that nice crunchy cookie by using greek yogurt or fruit puree. Have you discovered any ways to make a good low far cookie?

    I love vanilla too so this sounds perfect. I remember drinking vanilla extract when I was younger because I thought it would taste like vanilla. I was totally dismayed. I also did the same for food coloring because everything with it tastes sweet. Not only did it taste bad, but there was plenty of evidence of my sneaking in the form of blue lips and tongue!

    I love vanilla. That’s why I have to try this recipe. However, I have to admit I have never baked with vanilla beans. I started researching them online. OMG they are expensive. Where do you buy yours? You say to scrape a vanilla bean. So that is a single bean from the pod? Typical how many are there in the pod? I am trying to determine how many I need to buy. I’m sure I will be making this over and over again.

      Hi Lisa,

      I bought my vanilla beans from Trader Joe’s. They can be expensive, but I found they are cheapest at Trader Joe’s. I know Cost Plus World Market has them inexpensive too. I just used a single bean for this recipe. Once I scrapped out my pod I put it in sugar so I had vanilla flavored sugar for baking. It’s a great use for the used pod.

        Thanks for the information. Trader Joe’s was the first place I checked and the clerk said they use to have it, but it wasn’t selling so they stopped carrying it.
        I ended up on EBAY (10 Extract Grade Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Beans 6~7″) for $8.99 plus free shipping – compared to the grocery store: 2 pods at $13.95. These will last a while, but next time I will check with Cost Plus.
        The vanilla beans are to be delivered 3/17. So depending on when they arrive, I’ll be baking that day or the next. I am really excited about this bread

          My vanilla beans arrived early and I made the bread today. Oh the bread was melt in your mouth heaven. Everyone in my family loved it too. It took me a little while to get a handle on the vanilla bean. They are so skinny, but I managed to clean it out. I guess practice makes perfect, so I’ll just be making more bread!!!

            Yeah! I am so glad the bread turned out for you. Now don’t forget take the vanilla bean pod that you scraped and place it in sugar. You will have vanilla flavored sugar that smells wonderful! By the way, I know the beans are a pain in the butt to scrap! I think the same thing!

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.
💗
Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!

Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden f Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden from last year. I’m gearing myself up to start working in the garden this weekend. It’s supposed to be mid 70’s. So if all goes planned you will be seeing quite a few gardening posts. 
🌺
Last years extreme summer heat took a major toll on my garden. I lost quite a few plants. 😫 For some reason I lost my Butterfly Bush. I plan on adding another one in the same spot. A lot of my lower flowers like Hummingbird Mint and my Coneflowers didn’t survive. We will be looking at the sprinkler system to make sure the plants are getting enough water. 
🌺
At least this garden is mainly annuals, so it should fill up with some color soon. I’m unsure what to do with my other gardens as my dogs have destroyed them. They keep on digging in the dirt. Maybe I should get them a sandbox to play in?
🌺
Have you started to work in your garden?
