Tips:

Use fresh walnuts for the best flavor. You can toast them in a pan over medium heat for a few minutes to bring out their natural oils.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the bread in a loaf pan that has been greased and floured. This will help the bread to rise evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
