Spiced Walnut Loaf

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 1 hour + cooling YIELD: 1 loaf (12 slices).
When my sister and I spent the night at our grandmother's house, we often requested these muffins for breakfast. Today, I bake them for my kids. The very aroma is a trip down memory lane.—Kris Michels, Walled Lake, Michigan
