Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor and texture, consider substituting the walnuts with pecans or almonds. If you prefer a sweeter bread, increase the honey slightly or try using maple syrup instead. Be mindful of the baking time; check for doneness as ovens may vary. To enhance moisture, consider adding a tablespoon of Greek yogurt or applesauce, which works well in many vegetarian recipes.
