Sweet Alabama Pecan Bread
✅ Ingredients:
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter for a richer flavor)
4 large eggs
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups chopped pecans (toasted if desired)
🥣 Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and oil. Mix well until smooth.
Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
Fold in the chopped pecans.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool completely before slicing into squares or bars.
