Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 6-inch clean terracotta flower pots, making sure they are food-safe. Place the pots on a baking sheet and set aside.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined. Set this dry mixture aside.
-
In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add in the vanilla extract and mix well.
-
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the yogurt. Begin and end with the flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts, reserving a few for sprinkling on top.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared flower pots, filling them about 3/4 full. Smooth the tops with a spatula and sprinkle the remaining walnuts over the batter.
-
Place the baking sheet with the filled pots in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Once baked, remove the flower pots from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges to loosen the bread, then invert the pots to release the bread onto the rack to cool completely.
-
Once cooled, dust the Flower Pot Walnut Bread with confectioners' sugar for a touch of sweetness.
