A brown sugar glaze adds a little sweetness to slices of this flavorful quick bread loaded with toasted walnuts. I often share loaves with friends and neighbors.

Buttermilk Nut Bread Recipe

Prep: 15 min. Bake: 45 min. + cooling

Yield: 30 Servings

15 45 60

Ingredients

3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk
2 eggs
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
PENUCHE GLAZE:
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, cubed
2 tablespoons 2% milk
1/4 teaspoon ground mace
3/4 to 1 cup confectioners' sugar

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add buttermilk, eggs and butter; beat just until combined. Fold in walnuts.
Pour into five greased 5-3/4-in. x 3-in. x 2-in. loaf pans. Bake at 350° for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
For glaze, in a small saucepan, bring brown sugar and butter to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; cool for 5 minutes. Whisk in milk and mace until smooth. Stir in enough confectioners' sugar to achieve desired consistency. Drizzle over loaves. Yield: 5 mini loaves (6 slices each).
