Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup chopped pecans (plus extra for topping)

1 cup whole milk

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

1/4 cup honey

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray and line with parchment paper for easy removal.
Mix the Dry Ingredients – In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the chopped pecans.
Combine the Wet Ingredients – In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then add melted butter, honey, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Create the Batter – Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Bake the Bread – Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smooth the top, and sprinkle extra pecans on top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve – Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Slice and enjoy with an extra drizzle of honey or butter.
