quickbreads

No yeast needed

Quickbreads are baked goods leavened with baking powder or baking soda rather than yeast, requiring no rising time before baking.

The category includes muffins, biscuits, scones, banana bread, and cornbread.

The name reflects their speed—mix the batter, put it in the oven: I made quickbreads for the brunch.
