Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups chopped pecans, toasted
  • 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
  2. Mix Sugars and Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the brown sugar, white granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix in the self-rising flour and salt, stirring until everything is well combined.
  5. Fold in the Pecans: Gently fold in the toasted pecans by hand until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown. Use a toothpick inserted into the center to check if it comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Once out of the oven, let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before cutting into squares. Serve warm and enjoy, or pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
