Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine melted butter and brown sugar. Mix well until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each. Stir in vanilla.
3. Add Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined.
4. Fold in Pecans:
Gently fold in the chopped pecans — they give the bread its signature texture and nutty flavor.
5. Bake:
Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Cool and Slice:
Let it cool slightly in the pan before cutting into squares or bars. It’s rich, so smaller pieces go a long way!
🍯 Serving Suggestions:
Dust with powdered sugar for a pretty finish.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Drizzle with caramel sauce for extra decadence.
💡 Tips:
Want extra depth? Add ½ tsp cinnamon or a splash of bourbon to the batter.
This keeps beautifully for 3–4 days in an airtight container.
