🍰 Sweet Alabama Pecan Bread
🤎 A True Southern Classic
If you love pecans, butter, and brown sugar, you’re going to fall head over heels for this Sweet Alabama Pecan Bread. It’s a cross between a cake, a blondie, and a pecan pie — chewy on the edges, soft in the middle, and loaded with toasted pecans.
