• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Low-fat milk
• 1 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans
• 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and granulated sugar.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and low-fat milk until well combined.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour the wet mixture into the well. Stir gently until the ingredients are just combined.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans and the fresh lemon zest, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 8

Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

Step 9

Transfer the bread onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Serve as is or toasted with a spread of your choice.
