Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Pan Preheat your oven to 350F (175C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Sugars and Wet Ingredients In a large bowl, blend the granulated sugar, brown sugar, beaten eggs, and vegetable oil until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Incorporate Flour and Salt Gradually stir in the self-rising flour and salt to the sugar mixture, ensuring to mix until just incorporated to avoid overworking the batter.
- Add Flavor Enhancers Stir in the vanilla extract, honey, and melted butter into the batter, enriching it with flavor.
- Fold in Pecans Gently fold the chopped pecans into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Bake the Bread Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
- Cooling Allow the Pecan Delight Honey Bread to cool in the dish for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This ensures it holds together well when cut.
