Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Spread the nuts in a single layer on your baking sheet.
Put the baking sheet in the oven, and bake until the nuts are fragrant and slightly browned, about 5–8 minutes, depending on the size and type of the nut. Set nuts aside to cool.
Increase oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients; stir in nuts and set aside.
In another large mixing bowl, combine all wet ingredients.
Now, add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined and all dry ingredients are incorporated and moistened – do not over beat.
Spoon batter into 2 parchment paper-lined and greased and floured 9x5 inch loaf pans.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with sticky crumbs or when an instant read thermometer reads 200 to 205 degrees F.
