Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Prepare the Batter:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, and vegetable oil.
    • Mix until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture is smooth.
    • Gradually add the self-rising flour to the wet mixture, stirring until just incorporated.
    • Stir in the vanilla extract.
    • Fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Bake the Bread:
    • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool and Serve:
    • Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes.
    • Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For a more intense pecan flavor, you can lightly toast the chopped pecans before folding them into the batter.
  • This bread can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or frozen for up to a month.
