Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1.25 cups Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup Raisins
- 0.75 cups Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until evenly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly thick and lumpy.
Fold in the raisins and chopped nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed 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 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the raisin nut bread on its own or with a spread of butter. Enjoy!
