Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 0.75 cups pure maple syrup
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 0.5 cups chopped nuts (optional, walnuts or pecans)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the melted butter, maple syrup, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the wet mixture, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

If using, gently fold in the chopped nuts to the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and use a spatula to smooth the top.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve the Maple Snack Bread plain or with a spread of butter for a delicious treat!
