Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cups Macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
- 0.5 cups Shredded coconut (optional)
- 0.5 cups White chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the chopped macadamia nuts, shredded coconut (if using), and white chocolate chips (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve as desired. Enjoy your Loaded Macadamia Nut Bread as is or with a smear of butter for extra indulgence!
