Print Recipe

A rich, chewy, and nutty Southern treat, Sweet Alabama Pecan Bread is more like a blondie loaf bursting with toasted pecans and warm brown sugar flavor. Perfect for brunches, gifts, or indulgent snacks.

Ingredients

  • All-Purpose Flour: 1 cup – Provides structure and holds the gooey interior together.
  • Granulated Sugar: 1 cup – Gives sweetness and that slightly crackly top.
  • Brown Sugar: 1 cup – Adds moisture and a deep, caramel flavor.
  • Eggs: 4 large – Bind the ingredients and enrich the texture.
  • Vegetable Oil: 1 cup – Keeps the crumb moist and soft.
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon – Enhances sweetness and rounds out flavor.
  • Baking Powder: 1 teaspoon – Gives a little lift to lighten the dense texture.
  • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon – Balances the sweetness and brings out the nutty flavor.
  • Chopped Pecans: 1 1/2 cups – Provide buttery crunch and toasty flavor throughout.

  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Combine wet and dry mixtures, then fold in chopped pecans.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Pour batter into baking dish and spread evenly.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden and slightly firm.
