Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Pecans, chopped
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Greek yogurt, plain
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9×5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Stir in the chopped pecans, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, honey, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix just until the batter is combined; avoid overmixing to ensure a tender bread.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature, either plain or with a spread of butter or cream cheese. Enjoy!
