Honey Nut Bread With Orange Zest

Jump to Recipe

The flavor of honey with the citrus orange scent is perfect for the fall baking. This Honey Nut Bread is the easiest loaf of bread to bake for a quick evening tea.

We are almost nearing the end of our mega marathon and I have to say this was the first month-long marathon that I was quite relaxed and sort of well planned.

I had a clear idea about what kind of bakes I wanted to do and my bakes mostly included bread and dinners. I did have empty spaces every here and there in my list and the last week was pretty much empty.

Why bake this bread?

The Honey Nut Bread that I made today was planned in the morning, baked in the afternoon, pictured in the evening, and drafted at night. It is a very simple loaf with simple flavors. I love to use honey in the bakes as a sweetener and this bread is made only with honey.

Recently I had been to the local farmers market and I saw this recipe for the Honey nut Bread in one of the local honey farm’s booths. I did make few changes to the recipe and used a bit of whole wheat flour along with the regular flour.

The texture of the bread was really good and I am going to be using 50 % whole wheat flour next time.

The bread has heavy tones of honey flavor. The orange zest helps a lot to lower the flavor, so I would highly recommend using some sort of citrus zest to cut down on the heavy honey flavor.

Also, I used finely chopped almonds in the recipe to bring some crunch. If you are an almond lover, then try this Banana almond Bread or the Banana Cranberry Almond Muffins as well.
