Description

Honey Butter Sweet Alabama Pecanbread is a delightful Southern-inspired dessert combining rich pecans, sweet brown and white sugar, and a moist, tender crumb. This pecan-studded quick bread is perfect for sharing, offering a warm, buttery flavor with a hint of vanilla, baked to golden perfection in a simple 9×13-inch pan.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
  • 2 cups pecans, finely chopped
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  2. Mix Sugars and Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, use a wooden spoon to combine the white sugar, brown sugar, beaten eggs, and vegetable oil until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients and Pecans: Stir in the self-rising flour and salt until just combined. Add the vanilla extract and gently fold in the finely chopped pecans, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
  4. Pour Batter and Bake: Pour the prepared batter into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the pecanbread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This resting time helps the bread set and makes cutting easier.

Notes

  • For added richness, try brushing melted honey butter on top as soon as it comes out of the oven.
  • This recipe uses self-rising flour, so no additional leavening agents are required.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate up to a week.
  • You can toast the pecans lightly before chopping to enhance their flavor.
  • If you prefer a nuttier texture, coarsely chop some of the pecans and fold them on top before baking.
