🍞 Sweet Alabama Pecan Bread 🌰
Ingredients:
🧈 ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
🍚 1 cup granulated sugar
🥚 2 large eggs
🍦 1 tsp vanilla extract
🍯 ¼ cup honey
🍶 1 cup buttermilk
🍚 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
🧂 1 ½ tsp baking powder
🧂 ½ tsp baking soda
🧂 ½ tsp salt
🌰 1 cup chopped pecans (plus extra for topping)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven 🔥:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Make the Batter 🍞:
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and honey.
Add the buttermilk and mix well.
Combine the Dry Ingredients 🌾:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Add the Pecans 🌰:
Fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Bake the Bread 🍞:
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Sprinkle some additional chopped pecans on top for a crunchy finish.
Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Cool and Serve 🍽️:
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve this delicious, sweet bread for a cozy treat!
