Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 units Large eggs
• 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 lightly dust it with flour. Set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat lightly until well blended.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well.

Step 5

Gently stir the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped walnuts evenly throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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