Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups chopped pecans toasted
  • 1 ½ cups self-rising flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and generously grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  • In a large bowl, mix both the brown sugar and white sugar with the vegetable oil until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure the batter is smooth.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract, mixing it evenly throughout the batter.
  • Gradually add the self-rising flour and salt. Stir until the dry ingredients are just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  • Fold in the toasted pecans by hand, using a spatula to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before cutting it into squares. This allows the bread to set and makes for cleaner slices.
  • Serve and enjoy! Sweet Alabama Pecan Bread is delicious on its own, but it’s also fantastic with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or drizzled with caramel sauce.
