Walnut Streusel Bread

Hard as it is to believe, this is actually a 'Cooking Light' recipe--yes, a bread!  Mind you, I didn't use fat-free buttermilk (have never seen such, so I went with lowfat) and had to flour my pan after spraying it because I didn't have baking spray with flour in it, so I might have taken it out of the 'light' range, but it's tasty, so that's what really counts, right??
This one is not done in the bread machine, just the regular oven, and since it's a quick bread, no kneading (yay!)  Very tasty, easy to make.  My only complaint is that it is very difficult to get the bread out of the pan without losing the streusel topping! (yes, I put as much back on as I could...)

Ingredients:

--streusel--
1/3 c. brown sugar (packed)
1/3 c. old-fashioned rolled oats
1 T. all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
dash of salt
2 T. butter, melted
2 T. walnuts, chopped

--bread--
9 oz. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
5 T. butter, softened
2/3 c. sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 c. buttermilk

Instructions:

1. Heat oven to 350°F.  Spray 9" x 5" pan with cooking spray and flour lightly (or use fancy spray with four already in it :)).

2. Prepare streusel: combine all the streusel ingredients in a medium bowl.  Stir until well mixed and set aside.

3. Prepare bread: whisk first 4 bread ingredients (flour through salt) together in a small bowl.

4. In a large bowl (or stand mixer bowl), combine butter and sugar.  Beat until well combined.

5. Add eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition.  Beat in vanilla with final addition.

6. Gradually add flour mixture and buttermilk alternately, beginning and ending with flour mixture.  Beat until just combined.

7. Pour/scrape half of batter into prepared pan.  Top with half of streusel mixture.

8. Pour/scrape in remaining batter and top with remaining streusel.

10. Bake for 50 minutes, then cool 10 minutes in pan on wire rack before attempting to remove from pan (you've been warned about the streusel, just reminding you!).

11. Slice up and enjoy!
