Notes

Nutritional Values may differ from and are meant to be a guide.

This recipe calls for a small number of nuts. You can either omit the nuts or add up to ½ cup of your favorite. Walnuts, pecans, and slivered almonds pair perfectly with these flavors.

Additionally, if you do not have parchment paper to line to loaf pan(s) with, you can use nonstick spray to coat the pan
