👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a small loaf pan or line with parchment.

   In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and garlic powder (if using).
3. Add wet ingredients
   Stir in milk and oil just until combined. Do not overmix — batter should be thick.

   Sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired.

   Or until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
6. Cool & serve
