Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil (or melted butter), and vanilla until smooth.
Add sugars: Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until well blended.
Mix dry ingredients: Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just incorporated—avoid overmixing.
Add pecans: Fold in the chopped pecans gently.
Bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and serve: Allow the pecanbread to cool in the pan before slicing into squares or bars.
A recipe that feels like tradition—simple, sweet, and full of Southern charm.
