Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 0.33 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Pecans, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be thick.
Fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with the spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the pecan bread plain or with a smear of butter. Enjoy!
