Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 0.75 cups pure maple syrup
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups chopped nuts (optional, walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the melted butter, maple syrup, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the wet mixture, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, gently fold in the chopped nuts to the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and use a spatula to smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the Maple Snack Bread plain or with a spread of butter for a delicious treat!
