Ingredients
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs beaten
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups pecans finely chopped
- 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 9x13-inch baking dish using butter or nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, beaten eggs, and vegetable oil until thoroughly combined.
- Slowly add the self-rising flour and salt, stirring just until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and fold in the finely chopped pecans gently.
- Pour the prepared batter into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the Pecanbread cool in the baking dish for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a gluten-free variation, replace the self-rising flour with a gluten-free self-rising blend. These blends are widely available and will allow your Pecanbread to rise beautifully without gluten. Be mindful that gluten-free flours may absorb more moisture, so if the batter appears too thick, add a bit more vegetable oil to maintain the perfect texture.
