Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan thoroughly.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together melted unsalted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then add vanilla extract and buttermilk.
  4. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Fold in red and green sprinkles gently until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Optionally, sprinkle coarse sugar on top. Bake for 45-55 minutes.
  7. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
