Sweet Alabama Pecanbread

 

Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

2. Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and vegetable oil until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

3. Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.

4. Add the Pecans
Fold in the chopped pecans evenly throughout the batter.

5. Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Cool and Slice
Allow the pecanbread to cool completely before slicing into squares.

Tips for Best Results
Use fresh pecans for the best flavor and texture.

Do not overbake to keep the pecanbread moist.

Let the pecanbread cool fully before cutting for clean slices.
