Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped walnuts gently, 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 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve slices warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
