Apple Pecan Buttermilk Quick Bread
Ken bought buttermilk to make pancakes but never ended up making them so he went on a hunt for a great recipe to make buttermilk bread. He found this Apple Pecan Buttermilk Quick Bread.
He found a recipe over at The Kitchn and made this lovely loaf. It was so spectacular when it was still warm out of the oven.
For this recipe head over to The Kitchn. They also suggested some variations and Ken ran with those.
These loaves would be great over the holidays to pull out for snacks for your company or to be part of breakfast or brunch.
The Kitchn has many more variations and these loaves turn out fantastic. We have a few tucked away in our freezer!!!
I loved the addition of the pecans and apples, it made a completely different loaf.

Buttermilk lends a rich and flavorful loaf and the addition of the fruit and nuts adds so much more goodness.

This was a delicious recipe! YUM!!
i did get a bit creative. i added a tblspoon of unrefined organic coconut oil. Also i had baked 2 organic pears and 2 organic apples together a few days ago and added a cup of them them instead of the cut up apple. I also added 1/2 cup of frozen cranberries cut in half. i was very pleased with the results!
