Sweet Alabama Pecan Bread bakes up like a cross between a blondie and a butter cake—chewy edges, soft center, and crunchy toasted pecans in every bite. You can slice it warm for dessert, serve it at room temperature as a coffee cake, or wrap bars for holiday gifting.
Why You’ll Love This Sweet Alabama Pecan Bread
You’ll love how this recipe turns simple pantry ingredients—two sugars, eggs, oil, flour, and lots of pecans—into a rich, nut‑packed bar that tastes like pecan pie without the fuss of a crust. The combination of brown and white sugar gives it deep caramel flavor and chewy edges, while the toasted pecans add buttery crunch so every slice feels decadent.
It’s also incredibly easy and flexible: you whisk the wet ingredients, stir in the dry, fold in nuts, and bake in either a 9×13 pan or loaf pans, with no mixer required. The baked bread holds together beautifully for potlucks and bake sales, and it stays moist for days, making it a great make‑ahead dessert or snack.
