Ingredients

Scale

2 c. pecans, finely chopped

1 1/2 c. self-rising flour

1 c. granulated sugar

1 c. brown sugar

1 c. vegetable oil

4 large eggs, beaten

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1/4 tsp. salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Use some butter or nonstick spray to grease a baking dish measuring 9×13 inches.

In a bowl combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, beaten eggs and vegetable oil until they are well mixed.

Gradually mix in the self-rising flour and salt just until they are incorporated.

Add the vanilla extract. Gently fold in the chopped pecans.

Pour the batter into the greased baking dish.

Bake it in your preheated oven for around 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.

Allow your baked Pecanbread to cool down in the dish for at least 15 minutes before slicing it up and serving.

Notes

For those who love the nutty taste of our Pecanbread but need to follow a gluten-free diet there’s no need to worry! You can still enjoy this treat. Just replace the self-rising flour with a gluten-free self-rising blend. These blends are widely available. Have properties, of regular flour ensuring that your Pecanbread rises beautifully without gluten. Just keep in mind that gluten-free flours may sometimes absorb moisture so if your batter seems thick feel free to add a little more vegetable oil, for that perfect moistness.
