With 'quick' built right into the name, it's no surprise that this genre of baked goods is so popular. Baked without yeast, there's no need to wait around for dough to rise or proof, so most are ready in a matter of minutes. And, they rely on just a handful of simple pantry ingredients like flour, baking soda or baking powder, butter, sugar and eggs, for example — and can be mixed by hand in a big bowl.

While quick bread as a category includes everything from muffins and scones to biscuits and cornbread, this roundup focuses on recipes that are baked in a loaf pan. You'll find classics like banana breads, pumpkin breads and zucchini breads — but we've thrown in plenty of creative twists, too. Think, loaves that will remind you of a PB&J or ones that are stuffed with a cheesecake swirl. Looking for something that's a bit of both? Try this recipe. It's got all the flavor (and moist texture) of your traditional banana bread, but we've topped it with hazelnuts and hidden a creamy layer of chocolate-hazelnut spread inside for a fun new take.
