INGREDIENTS
- ⅓ cup/40 grams chopped walnuts for topping
Batter:
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup/100 grams light brown sugar
- ½ cup/100 grams granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons/10 grams baking powder
- ½ cup/120 milliliters oil
- ½ cup/120 milliliters fresh orange juice
- 1 ¾ cups/220 grams all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup/60 milliliters pure maple syrup
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 340°F (170°C), fan setting. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with a light coat of oil or nonstick spray.
- Whisk the eggs and sugars in a large mixing bowl until smooth and slightly frothy.
- Add the wet ingredients—oil and orange juice—and whisk to combine.
- Incorporate the dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, and maple syrup—mixing just until the batter is smooth and no dry streaks remain. Avoid overmixing.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts evenly over the top.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. For extra indulgence, drizzle with additional maple syrup before serving. Slice and enjoy!
