Scale
For the Pecanbread:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup honey butter (or substitute 1/2 cup softened butter plus 2 tablespoons honey)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or line with parchment paper.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, and honey butter until smooth and creamy.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir just until combined.
- Add Pecans: Fold in the chopped pecans. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Bake: Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Cool completely before slicing into squares.
Notes
- For extra flavor, toast the pecans before adding.
- These bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- Drizzle with additional honey butter while warm for a gooey finish.
