Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 1 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)
• 1.5 cups Buttermilk
• 1 large Egg
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar until well combined.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dry mix.

Step 4

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Slice and serve as is, or enjoy with a spread of butter or cream cheese.
