Nut bread

“I got the idea for this bread from my mom’s old cookbook. One day, I was in a baking mood and saw a nut bread recipe and decided to make it healthier and more interesting. My version is rich in protein, fiber and omega-3 fatty acids (a healthy fat), and is relatively low in sugar and saturated fat. Plus, it’s the easiest sweet bread to make by hand!” —Sylvana Insua-Rieger
