Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, orange marmalade, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped nuts evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
