Description
Sweet Alabama Pecan Bread is a moist, sweet Southern-style treat loaded with pecans and made with simple pantry staples. Perfect for brunch, dessert, or an afternoon snack.
Ingredients
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar (packed)
4 large eggs, beaten
1 cup vegetable oil
1½ cups self-rising flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups pecans, finely chopped
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Grease and flour (or spray) a 9×13 inch baking dish.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, beaten eggs and vegetable oil. Stir until smooth.
-
Stir in the self‑rising flour until just incorporated. Then add the vanilla extract and mix.
-
Fold in the finely chopped pecans so they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Spoon the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30‑35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are ok).
-
Remove from oven and let cool in the dish for at least 10‑15 minutes before slicing into squares and serving.
Notes
Substitute self-rising flour with 1½ cups all-purpose flour + 2¼ tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt.
Toast pecans for extra depth of flavor.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer shelf life.
