How to Make Honey Butter Sweet Alabama Pecanbread

Ingredients:

2 cups pecans, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup honey

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan so that the bread doesn’t stick.
In a large bowl, mix together the chopped pecans, self-rising flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt thoroughly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, beaten eggs, vanilla extract, and honey until it’s smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing well until everything is combined.
Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan, smoothing the top a bit.
Bake for about 50-60 minutes. It’s ready when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before moving it to a wire rack to cool completely.
