For an even richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. If you don't have shortening, you can substitute with softened butter or coconut oil. Feel free to experiment with different types of nuts, such as pecans or almonds. Store the cooled bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage. Add a streusel topping before baking for extra sweetness and crunch.
