Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Cut ripe watermelon into chunks, remove seeds, and blend until smooth to create about 1 to 1.5 cups of watermelon puree.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the watermelon puree, sugar, melted butter, and eggs. Whisk until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  5. Gradually pour the dry mixture into the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined—don't overmix.
  6. Fold in optional mix-ins like raisins or chocolate chips if desired.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top for even baking.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes until the bread is golden brown. Test doneness with a toothpick.
  9. Remove from the oven, cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
