• 0.25 cups brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

5. Gently fold in the chopped nuts and any optional mix-ins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

8. Remove the nut bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Slice and serve on its own, with butter, or alongside your favorite spreads. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
