Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Buttermilk
- 1.5 cups Fresh blackberries
- 1 cups Chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.
Stir the buttermilk into the wet mixture until evenly combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, using a spatula or wooden spoon to mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Gently fold in the fresh blackberries and chopped walnuts, being careful not to crush the berries.
Pour the batter evenly 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 or with a few moist crumbs. Check around the 45-minute mark to ensure it doesn’t overbake.
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 walnut blackberry bread on its own or with butter. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
