For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of softened butter. Toast the pecans and almonds before adding them to the batter for enhanced nuttiness. If you don't have cranberries, raisins or chopped dates make a great substitute. For a sweeter bread, add 1/4 cup of maple syrup or honey to the wet ingredients.
