Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  3. Transfer the dough to a greased 9 x 5-inch loaf pan lined with a strip of large parchment paper with paper hanging over the edges for easy removal. Sprinkle with additional chopped nuts, and chocolate chips.
  4. Bake in the oven for 45-60 minutes for 9 x 5 pan (longer if using an 8 x 4 pan) or until the center is firm. Check the bread 3/4 through the baking time, if the top begins to get too dark, lay a piece of foil over the top.
  5. Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool for 20-30 minutes in the pan. Carefully remove the bread by grabbing onto the parchment paper and transfer the bread to the wire rack to cool completely before slicing it. It’s important that the bread is cooled completely before slicing.

Notes

*A 9×5-inch loaf pan will also work but the loaf will be flatter and you will need to reduce the baking time by 5-10 minutes.
