Easy Nut Bread

Recipe Description

I’m very happy to share my Easy Nut Bread recipe with you – it’s too good to keep to myself! There’s something so wholesome about nut bread. I flavor mine with vanilla and cinnamon only, and let the walnuts add their own nuttiness.

The simple cake, with the crunch of nuts, feels a lot healthier than something covered in frosting or squidgy with chocolate. I find the buttermilk adds a slight hint of sourness that balances the sweetness of the cake perfectly. I often use wholemeal flour instead of white flour, which adds some more of that delicious nutty flavor. This recipe yields two delicious loaves, so why not take one to a friend’s for tea?

To make Easy Nut Bread, you will need the following ingredients:

Great nut bread. I baked this for my mate's tea party and everyone loved it. The walnuts added great texture and it was super easy to make. Will definitely try with wholemeal flour next time.

I never thought nut bread could be so great! Made this with my kids and we added a bit of honey for extra sweetness. The aromas from the vanilla and cinnamon filled our kitchen. It was a hit at our Sunday tea—no leftovers! This is my new go-to recipe for quick, healthy treats.
