Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 2 pieces eggs, large
• 0.75 cups whole milk
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cups chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
• 0.5 cups optional mix-ins (such as dried cranberries or chocolate chips)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a standard 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, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the chopped nuts and any optional mix-ins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

Remove the nut bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve on its own, with butter, or alongside your favorite spreads. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
