Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs and flavorings: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the honey and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Add pecans and bake: Fold in the chopped pecans. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and slice: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- For extra flavor, toast the pecans before adding them to the batter.
- This bread also freezes well—wrap tightly in plastic and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
