Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 1 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)
- 1.5 cups Buttermilk
- 1 large Egg
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar until well combined.
Stir in the chopped nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dry mix.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice and serve as is, or enjoy with a spread of butter or cream cheese.
