Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 2 cups chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, light brown sugar, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and eggs until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of the leavening agent and seasoning.
  4. Combine & Fold: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing. Then stir in the vanilla extract to add depth to the flavor.
  5. Add Pecans: Fold in the chopped pecans evenly throughout the batter for a delightful crunch in every bite.
  6. Bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool & Serve: Allow the pecan bread to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. It is best served at room temperature or slightly warm for optimal flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
  • Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
  • For extra crunch, toast the pecans lightly before adding them to the batter.
  • This bread keeps well stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat slices gently in the microwave or oven before serving if desired.
