Time 2h

Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

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.

Yield 6 mini-loaves, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

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.
