Walnuts are a good source of polyunsaturated fats, and they add great texture to recipes. Walnut oil in the batter underscores the nutty flavor in this walnut-topped loaf. Ingredients:
5.8 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1 1/4 cups) |
3.3 ounces whole-wheat flour (about 3/4 cup) |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup low-fat buttermilk |
1/3 cup maple syrup |
1/4 cup walnut oil |
1 large egg |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
cooking spray |
1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts, toasted |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Weigh or lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl; make a well in center of mixture. Combine buttermilk, syrup, oil, and egg in a bowl; add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist. Stir in vanilla. Spoon batter into an 8 x 4–inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with walnuts. Bake at 350° for 50 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes on a wire rack; remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack.
