Instructions

  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the chopped toasted walnuts.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
