Description

This Sweet Alabama Pecan Bread is a delightful treat, perfect for any occasion. With a soft, moist crumb and a rich, nutty flavor from the pecans, this bread is sure to become a family favorite.


Ingredients

Scale
  1. 1 cup granulated sugar
  2. 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  3. 4 large eggs
  4. 1 cup vegetable oil
  5. 2 cups self-rising flour
  6. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  7. 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent the bread from sticking.
  • Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, and vegetable oil. Beat together until smooth and well combined.
  • Incorporate the Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the self-rising flour to the wet mixture, stirring gently to incorporate. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Add the Pecans: Fold in the chopped pecans gently to ensure they’re evenly distributed in the batter.
  • Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the bread cool for 15 minutes in the pan. Then transfer to a cooling rack, cut into squares, and serve.

Notes

  • Ensure not to overmix the batter, as this could result in a denser texture.
  • This bread can be served warm or at room temperature.
  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg.
