This bread is so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love the molasses flavor and the nuts add a nice crunch. I've made this bread in both a crock pot and a loaf pan, and it turns out great either way.

This New England brown bread recipe was a hit! The bread had a delicious molasses flavor and a moist, dense texture. I used a loaf pan instead of a crock pot, and it turned out perfectly. I will definitely be making this bread again.
