Maple Walnut Bread
This quick bread brings together the rich flavor of real maple syrup and the crunch of toasted walnuts. Using a baking mix keeps the preparation simple while sour cream ensures a tender, moist crumb. Rolled oats add a hearty texture that makes this loaf perfect for a weekend brunch or a cozy afternoon snack. It bakes up golden brown with a comforting aroma that fills the kitchen.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons shortening
- 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
- 2 cups Original Bisquick ® mix
- ⅔ cup sugar
- ½ cup quick-cooking oats
- ⅓ cup chopped walnuts, toasted*
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup sour cream
- ⅓ cup real maple syrup
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat the bottom and sides of a 9x5-inch loaf pan with the shortening, then dust lightly with the all-purpose flour.
- 2Combine the baking mix, sugar, quick-cooking oats, and toasted walnuts in a large bowl. Add the vegetable oil, sour cream, maple syrup, milk, and eggs, stirring until just blended. Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- 3Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 5 minutes. The bread is ready when it feels firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the loaf rest in the pan for 10 minutes.
- 4Slide a knife or metal spatula around the edges of the pan to free the bread. Turn the loaf out onto a wire cooling rack and let it cool completely for about 1 hour.
- 5To toast the walnuts before starting the batter, spread them in an ungreased baking pan. Bake at 350°F for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they turn golden brown.
