Ingredients
1 cup chopped pecans
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
½ cup melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
5. Fold in the chopped pecans to the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the pecanbread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep it light. For extra flavor, toast the pecans before folding them in.
