Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Chopped walnuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped walnuts gently, 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 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve slices warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
