Step into the sweet, nutty charm of the South with this Sweet Alabama Pecan Bread—a beloved dessert that’s been passed down through Alabama kitchens for generations. Rich, chewy, and full of pecan goodness, this treat is as comforting as it is delicious.
🥄 Ingredients
Gather the essentials before you begin. Here’s what you’ll need to make this Southern classic:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Granulated sugar | 1 cup |
| Brown sugar | 1 cup |
| Eggs, lightly beaten | 4 |
| Vegetable oil | 1 cup |
| Self-rising flour | 1½ cups |
| Vanilla extract | 1 teaspoon |
| Pecans, finely chopped | 2 cups |
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prep Your Oven & Pan
Set your oven to preheat at 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish to keep the bread from sticking.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, stir together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, beaten eggs, and oil using a wooden spoon or spatula. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
3. Add Dry Ingredients
Stir in the self-rising flour and vanilla extract until everything is incorporated into a uniform batter.
4. Fold in the Pecans
Gently mix in the chopped pecans, making sure they’re evenly spread throughout the batter.
5. Bake
Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
