    This Kiwi Walnut Bread has a sweet nutty flavor to it. A great bread recipe if you have ripe Kiwi Fruit on hand.
     
    kiwi walnut bread

    This Kiwi Walnut Bread is one of the most interesting bread recipes I have made in a long time. Not really because of the Kiwi Fruit but that this recipe does not call for much liquid at all.

    The batter for this bread is thicker than most other bread recipes you will find out there which results in a sweet but dense bread. The kiwi fruit does help keep it moist though.

    My family loves Kiwi Fruit. We usually just peel and cut them up and eat them with other fruit. Sometimes we put some in our greek yogurt or on a salad. This is the first time I make bread with it though.

    Ripe Kiwi Fruit

    The easiest way to tell if a Kiwi Fruit is ripe and ready to eat is when you press the outside of the kiwi and it's slightly soft. If it's hard your kiwi is not ready to eat.

    💭 Recipe Tip

    While you can pretty much use any brand of cream cheese, I highly recommend you use Philadelphia brand cream cheese. You will taste the difference.

        There's no cream cheese in the bread itself. It's optionally used spreading on the bread as a frosting. You can use as much or as little as you want!

      Made this today and found I had to add 1/2 cup liquid (I used some plum juice I had in the fridge) to get the batter consistency in the picture. Just the egg and butter left way too much unmoistened/unincorporated flour. As a result, perhaps, I had to bake it for about 20 minutes longer. I place another pan on top after the original 45 minutes to keep the top of the loaf from getting too dark and kept testing with a toothpick. Just had my two slices with cream cheese and really enjoy that it's sweet enough w/o using even half as much sugar as other sweet bread recipes do. So the 1 star off is just because it seems to need some more liquid in the recipe, but that was easy to adjust because the photo showed what the batter should look like. Thanks for the recipe!

        Thanks for the feedback. I need to revisit this recipe to ensure I have the correct amount of liquid listed on the recipe card. Glad you liked the flavor though!
