My mother in law shared this wonderful plum bread recipe with me years ago, and it's become a treasured favorite in our kitchen. Fresh plums are packed with antioxidants and fiber, making this treat feel a little bit wholesome alongside its delicious richness. What I love most about this recipe is how incredibly simple and quick it is to prepare, taking just fifteen minutes of prep before it goes into the oven. With staple ingredients you probably already have at home, it's an affordable way to use up seasonal fruit or pantry basics. The result is a moist, tender bread that tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen when really you barely spent any time at all.

Sprinkle chopped plums with 1 tablespoon of flour in a bowl, and toss to coat. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat the margarine, white sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs. In another bowl, sift together 1 1/2 cup of flour with salt and baking soda. Stir the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, alternating with yogurt until the mixture forms a smooth batter. Lightly stir in the flour-coated plums, and pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the top of the batter with brown sugar.
