Alabama-Style Sweet Pecan Bread

Instructions

1. Preheat oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil (or melted butter), and vanilla until smooth.
3. Add sugars: Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until well blended.
4. Mix dry ingredients: Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just incorporated—avoid overmixing.
5. Add pecans: Fold in the chopped pecans gently.
6. Bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool and serve: Allow the pecanbread to cool in the pan before slicing into squares or bars.

 A recipe that feels like tradition—simple, sweet, and full of Southern charm.
