I love to give neighbors and friends homemade treats for Christmas. Most folks are so busy these days that homemade baked goods are a treat. I have found that this Gingerbread loaf recipe is perfect for making in double batches so I can make a bunch of loaves for gifts all at one time. It’s a delicious recipe that it easy to make, easy to multiply the recipe and easy to give as a gift.

3 loaves of gingerbread cooking on a wire rack

I like to wrap the loaves in colored plastic wrap and either tie with a festive ribbon or slip into one of my upcycled fabric gift bags. Your neighbors and friends will appreciate receiving this delicious and festively wrapped gingerbread loaf as a holiday gift. And you’ll appreciate how easy it is to make and make in large quantities (for all those friends you have!).

Love the look the look of this bread. And I just must try the recipe

I’m sure your neighbors love this tasty gift. Thanks for sharing your recipe with this week’s Throwback Thursday party.

I bake a lot for our neighbors and friends too. This would be great to include in our platters as a mini loaf! Thanks so much for the recipe.
