Pecan Bread
Description
Pecan Bread combines various sugars and melted butter beaten with eggs to form a rich batter that is mixed with flour, baking powder, salt, and chopped pecans. The batter is poured into a greased pan, topped with additional pecans for crunch, and baked until the edges turn golden and the center is set, although it slightly sinks in the middle. The result is a moist bread featuring the distinctive flavor and texture of pecans.
The texture balances soft bread with crunchy pecan bites, with a sweet and buttery profile. Baking at 350 degrees F provides a gentle environment for an even bake and color development around the edges.
This bread can be sliced into squares and enjoyed as a snack or dessert. It pairs well with coffee or tea and can be served plain or with light spreads such as butter or cream cheese.
Leftover bread maintains good quality for up to five days if stored in an airtight container at room temperature, preserving its moistness and flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cup butter melted
- 4 egg beaten
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups pecans chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 9X13 baking pan with a non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder.
- In a large mixing bowl cream together the butter and both sugars with a stand up or hand held mixture on low speed until combined and fluffy.
- Then add in the eggs and vanilla extract. Turn the speed up to medium and beat for 1 minute.
- Turn the mixer back down to a low speed and slow add in the flour mixture until just combined. Be careful not to over mix.
- Mix 1 1/2 cups of the chopped pecans into the batter.
- Pour the mixture into the baking pan, top with the remaining pecans and bake for 30-35 minutes until the edges are lightly golden brown and the center of the bread is set.
- Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan. Then the bread is ready to cut into squares and enjoy!
Notes
- The bread naturally sinks slightly in the center while baking, which is expected.
- Golden edges indicate doneness and add texture contrast.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature; consume within five days for best freshness.
