Ingredients

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pan
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled), plus more for pan
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups dried cherries (or dried cranberries)
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut in small pieces

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour six mini loaf pans (each 5 3/4 by 3 inches, with a 2-cup capacity). Make streusel topping: In a bowl, mix streusel ingredients with fingertips until moist clumps form. Place in freezer.
Make cherry-pecan batter: In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. In a large bowl, whisk butter, sugar, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Mix in dry ingredients until moistened. Fold in dried cherries and pecans.
Divide batter evenly among prepared pans; spread to fill corners. Place pans on a baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes, then remove from oven, and quickly sprinkle loaves with streusel topping.
Return loaves to oven; bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool loaves 10 minutes in pans; turn out of pans, and cool completely, streusel side up, on a rack.

Ingredients

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut in small pieces
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup low-fat sour cream
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups dried cherries
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F Butter and flour six mini loaf pans (each 5 3/4 by 3 inches). Make streussel topping: in a bowl, mix streusel ingredients with fingertips until most clumps form. Place in freezer.
Make cherry-pecan batter: In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. In a large bowl, whisk butter, sugar, sour cream, eggs and vanilla until smooth. Mix in dry ingredients until moistened. Fold in dried cherries and pecans.
Divide batter evenly among prepared pans; spread to fill corners. Place pans on a baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes, then remove from oven and quickly sprinkle loaves with streusel topping.
Return loaves to oven; bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool loaves 10 minutes in pans; turn out of pans, and cool completely, streusel side up, on a rack.

Tips:

Use fresh, ripe cherries for the best flavor. If fresh cherries are unavailable, you can use frozen cherries that have been thawed and drained.
Toast the pecans before using them in the streusel topping. This will enhance their flavor and make them more crunchy.
Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a more tender loaf.
Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can toughen the loaf.
Bake the mini cherry nut bread in muffin tins or a loaf pan until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool completely before glazing it with the glaze. This will help the glaze to set properly.

Conclusion:

These mini cherry nut bread are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are moist and flavorful, with a tender crumb and a crunchy streusel topping. The glaze adds a touch of sweetness and shine, making these a irresistible treat. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy bread recipe, give these mini cherry walnut bread a try.
