Sweet Alabama Pecan Bread
Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 50-60 mins
Total Time: 1 hr 15 mins
Servings: 1 loaf
Ingredients:
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup buttermilk (or ½ cup milk + ½ tbsp vinegar, let sit 5 mins)
- 1 cup chopped pecans (plus extra for topping)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Alternate mixing: Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with buttermilk. Mix just until combined (do not overmix).
- Fold in pecans: Gently stir in 1 cup chopped pecans.
- Bake: Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle extra pecans on top (optional). Bake 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool: Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- For extra richness, toast the pecans before adding them.
- Drizzle with a simple glaze (½ cup powdered sugar + 1-2 tbsp milk) if desired.
- Store wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
