✏️ How to make Cinnamon Pecan Bread:
*The complete, printable recipe with all ingredients and instructions is at the end of this post.
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ Spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
- In a small bowl, stir together the cinnamon-pecan ingredients. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a medium bowl, beat the egg with a fork, and then stir in the milk and oil. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (it will be lumpy).
- Spoon half of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with half of the cinnamon-pecan mixture. Pour the rest of the batter on top. And then sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-pecan mixture on the very top. Use a butter knife to cut down through the batter and pull up and around to create a swirled, marbled effect.
- Bake for 55 to 60 minutes (or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean).
Cool in a pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove the bread from the pan, and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Wrap and store overnight before slicing.
➡️ Recipe Tips and Substitutions:
- If you have a nut allergy or do not care for nuts, it’s okay to leave them out.
- Walnuts are a good substitution for pecans, if you prefer.
- Try using slices of this cinnamon pecan bread to make French toast!
✔️ How to Store Cinnamon Pecan Bread:
Wrap the bread in plastic wrap, and let it sit overnight before slicing and serving. This bread will be fine served at room temperature for a few days. It may also be frozen. Double wrap the bread (or place the wrapped bread in a large zip baggie), and freeze for up to 3 months.
❤️ Why I Love This Recipe:
- I love the crunchy layer of cinnamon and sugar on the top of the bread.
- It feels like eating a piece of cake, but it’s not quite as decadent.
- I like to wrap and freeze individual slices so it can be enjoyed whenever the mood strikes!
