Notes
Recipe Tips
- Baked quick bread recipe- The bread will sink slightly in the middle and that edges will be golden brown.
- Check for doneness - Use a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread to check if bread is done. If toothpick comes out clean, bread is done. You do not want to overcook the bread.
- Top with Pecans - Before placing bread in the oven, top the pecan bread batter with the remaining pecans.
- Make Muffins - If you prefer, this recipe would work great in a muffin pan. Just line your muffin pan with muffin holders and place the batter in the pan. You may need to adjust your cooking time.
- Preparing Ingredients - Make sure to preheat oven completely and have your ingredients ready to go. As soon as I mix the ingredients, I like to get it poured into the prepared pan for baking.
