Quick Walnut Bread Recipe (2024)

I made this for the second time today. I added 3 tablespoons of maple syrup and 2 tablespoons of olive oil (reduced from 3, so the batter is not too wet). With these adjustments, this quick walnut bread has just barely sweet and excellent.

A bit of sugar would be an improvement. Be sure to smooth top of loaf before baking.

I made this bread this morning, and it turned out great! Nice texture with a crunchy crust! I did make a few modifications because I was attempting to fill a void in my life that's been created by the pandemic-related closure of a local bakery (and their cinnamon-currant bread). Used 3 eggs + 2 Tbs of ground flax (whisked together with eggs until gelatinous), all olive oil, strawberry kefir instead of yogurt, and added 3 Tbs sugar, 2+ tsp cinnamon, 2+ tsp molasses, and 1/2 tsp espresso powder.

I make this bread often, using 5 tablespoons of canola oil instead of olive and walnut oils, and 1 tablespoon of honey. It’s easy and wonderful. I’ve sometimes added raisins but this is one bread that’ better with just nuts—all the baked nuts give it a great texture and flavor. Most recently I was low on walnuts so used pecans instead, which might be even better.

I made this a couple times and a bit dry and needed a touch of sweet. Decreased olive oil to 2, 1 tsp. Cinnamon, dash nutmeg, 3 TBS maple syrup and one peeled grated apple.

I switched the white to whole wheat proportions and added maple syrup and some vanilla bean powder. I also chopped walnuts pretty fine and used some walnut butter in place of the walnut oil which isn't a pantry item. I baked it in a Bundt pan. This makes it a faster bake and perhaps helps with the dryness? Done in 30 min. Not crunchy. Not dry. Nice in its own. Great with honey or jam. I'll make it again.

I looked at the notes from others before I made this. My husband enjoys breakfast bread with his coffee in the morning. I added 1/2 cup of light brown sugar and 3 tbsp. maple syrup to offset the numerous comments that it wasn't sweet enough, baked it for 50 mins. at 350, and my husband did comment that it wasn't sweet enough and was a bit dry. I will make it again but with more adjustments.

I made it with plain yogurt (didn't have buttermilk), 5 tbsp canola oil (instead of the olive and walnut oils), 1 tbsp honey, and added 1/2 cup of chopped dried mission figs. It was done in 35 minute. Delicious. It could still use a touch more sweetness; next time I might increase the honey to 3 tbsp and the figs to 1 cup.

Used maple syrup. Added some chocolate chips. Very bread like and not sweet

The batter was drier than I expected from the instructions. I used yoghurt rather than buttermilk, and maybe needed more. It was cooked in about 35 mins. Adding a little sweetness as others have suggested would be a good idea. Guests declared it delicious.

Add a pinch of cinnamon and a bit of caster sugar, make sure that the salt is table salt. Oven at 185°C for 50 minutes works.

As others have noted, the bread is quite dry, and could really use a bit more sweetness. Shredded apple or maple syrup perhaps. Maybe substitute all purpose flour for half of the prescribed whole wheat flour, which would help with the dryness and mealy texture.

Added 2 Tablespoons of raw sugar, and subbed 1/4 c of ww flour for ground hazelnut flour. Very nice savory bread.

Delicious. Not a sweet bread by any stretch. It would be very nice toasted with a swipe of butter or olive oil. Nice go-along with coffee or tea. Almost like a scone in bread form.
