Equipment
- 1 Large Mixing Bowl 1
- 1 Small Mixing Bowl
- 1 hand mixer
- 1 loaf pan
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tbs baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
- 2 cups chopped pecans
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Begin by preheating your oven to 300°F. Grease a loaf pan and set it aside.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Stir until well combined.
- Blend Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add in the vanilla extract, vegetable oil, and milk, and whisk until fully incorporated.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
- Fold in Pecans: Gently fold in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 60 - 75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve either warm or at room temperature.
