Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400. Grease 4 mini-loaf pans.
In large bowl, stir together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; stir nuts into dry ingredients to coat.
In another bowl, stir together buttermilk, syrup, butter, egg, and vanilla, until blended.
Make a well in the center of dry ingredients; add buttermilk mixture and stir just to combine.
Spoon batter evenly into the 4 pans, and spread the batter so it reaches all corners of the pan.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Remove pan from oven and place on cooling rack. Cool for 3-4 minutes before removing loaves from pans. Wait until loaves are completely cool before storing in airtight container.
