Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Spread walnuts onto a baking sheet.

Toast walnuts in the preheated oven until nuts start to turn golden brown and become fragrant, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven; keep oven on.

Mix flour and baking powder together in a large bowl. Make a well in the center.

Step 4

Beat butter in a bowl with a wooden spoon until creamy. Mix in maple syrup. Beat in egg. Add milk and vanilla extract. Pour into the well in the flour mixture; stir until just combined. Fold in toasted walnuts.

Step 5
