Chunky Fruit and Nut Quick Bread

Ingredients

• Salt
• Butter
• Eggs
• Baking powder
• Milk
• Baking soda
• Egg
• Flour
• Buttermilk
• Cooking spray

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 350F. Coat a standard loaf pan with cooking spray. If you want the loaf to come out especially neatly, you can add a parchment liner for lifting it from the pan after baking, but it is not required.
2. In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, extract, syrup and buttermilk until the mixture is smooth and combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the flours with the salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
4. Add the fruits and nuts to the dry mixture, then combine that with the wet mixture. Stir thoroughly. The batter should be firm; if it feels overly tight, work in a little more buttermilk.
5. Transfer the dough to the prepared pan and level the top. Bake for about 45-50 minutes, until the loaf is browned on top and a toothpick inserted into it comes out clean.
6. This bread is especially good toasted and spread with butter. Once the loaf has cooled, wrap it well in plastic.
