Ideal for breakfast, a snack, or dessert, this bread is studded with crunchy walnuts and enhanced with warm cinnamon spice, making it a comforting treat anytime.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Mix-ins

  • 1 1/2 cups chopped peeled apple
  • 1 1/2 cups finely chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb, thawed
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the bread.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, canola oil, and vanilla extract until fully blended and smooth.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir just until the mixture is moistened—avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  5. Fold in Fruits and Nuts: Gently fold in the chopped apples, rhubarb, and walnuts, which will add texture and flavor throughout the bread.
  6. Prepare Pans and Pour Batter: Grease two 8×4-inch loaf pans well, then evenly divide and pour the batter into them.
  7. Bake the Bread: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the bread is fully cooked.
  8. Cool the Bread: Allow the loaves to cool in their pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely, preventing sogginess.

Notes

  • Serve the bread warm with butter for breakfast or with ice cream for a delightful dessert.
  • This bread also makes a great fruit and nut sandwich option for a snack.
  • Ensure rhubarb is thawed and well-drained if using frozen to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
  • Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
