Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Low-fat milk
- 1 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan lightly with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and granulated sugar.
In another bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and low-fat milk until well combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour the wet mixture into the well. Stir gently until the ingredients are just combined.
Fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans and the fresh lemon zest, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Transfer the bread onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve as is or toasted with a spread of your choice.
