Below is a step-by-step guide to making the most irresistible Sweet Alabama Pecan Bread right in your own kitchen.
🧺 Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed for that deep, caramel flavor)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil (can substitute half with melted butter for richer flavor)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups finely chopped pecans (fresh, lightly toasted for best taste)
🥣 Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Pan
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan generously with butter or non-stick spray. For extra security, you can line the bottom with parchment paper — it’ll make removing the bread much easier later on.
🥄 Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them lightly with a whisk until well combined. Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil. Whisk or beat until the mixture turns smooth and glossy.
This step ensures your bread has that signature soft, chewy texture.
