Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chopped pecans (toasted for extra flavor)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan (or use parchment paper).

Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
  2. Add eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.

Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients

  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined (do not overmix).

Step 4: Fold in Pecans

  1. Gently fold in chopped pecans.
  2. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.

Step 5: Bake

  1. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!

  • Slice and serve warm with butter, honey, or a drizzle of maple syrup!

Notes

  • Toasting the pecans enhances their flavor—toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes.
  • For extra sweetness, add 1/2 cup chocolate chips or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
  • Storage: Wrap in plastic wrap and store at room temperature for 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
