Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup whole milk

- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy release.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. Whisk until well blended.

- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use Fresh Pecans – For the best flavor and crunch, opt for fresh, high-quality pecans to enhance the nutty richness.
Don’t Skip the Honey Butter – Brushing warm honey butter over the bread right out of the oven adds extra moisture and a deliciously sweet finish.
Perfect for Any Occasion – Whether for breakfast, dessert, or a cozy afternoon treat, this bread pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea.
