Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup mixed nuts, chopped (such as walnuts and pecans)
• 0.25 cup optional: additional nuts for topping

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternately with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped nuts with a spatula, making sure they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle additional nuts on top for garnish.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve the nut bread, enjoying it plain or with a spread of butter.
