Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 0.75 cup Pure maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 pieces Eggs, large
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Chopped walnuts, toasted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter, maple syrup, and sugar until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time to the wet mixture, whisking after each addition until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gently mix in the milk until combined.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick but smooth.
Fold in the toasted walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve. Enjoy your Maple Walnut Bread with coffee, tea, or on its own!
