Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Pecans (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped pecans using a rubber spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Slice and enjoy! Store leftover slices in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
