Submitted by Outta Here

"An easy quick bread to serve with tea on a crisp Fall day! Also good with pecans instead of walnuts."

3. Lightly coat a 5-by-9-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.

This is definitely a keeper! I used dark brown sugar in place of light brown sugar and it was fantastic!

5 Stars because of simplicity, beautiful simplicity. Simple to make, simple, clean flavors, a nice texture. If you are a walnut lover, or a baking purist who doesn't like muddling up a good thing when it is perfect already, this is your recipe! I made this as one dozen small muffins, and baked for 25 minutes. I also toasted the walnuts before adding them to the recipe. Thanks for a simple, stunningly good tea-time recipe, Mikekey!

Wow! Easy to make & delicious! This went together quickly, rose beautifully, and is wonderful to eat. A great recipe to highlight my favorite nut! And yes, I will make this bread again, soon and often! My only problem was that I got a bit greedy with the walnut halves on top. Silly me! If you pile on too many, it all kind of slides to the middle and sinks, but that is only cosmetic & easily remedied. Thanks Mikekey, I love this recipe!

There aren't enough stars to give for this recipe! It's a TDF bread!! Added about 1/4 cup more Walnuts (like em) but everything else was to spec. YUM YUM. Made recipe#17086 to go with it. Made for National Homemade Bread Day, Nov. 17th.
