Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 0.33 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Pecans, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be thick.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with the spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve the pecan bread plain or with a smear of butter. Enjoy!
