Ingredients

Scale

Honey Butter Mixture

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg

Add-ins

  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is at the right temperature when your batter is ready.
  2. Prepare Pan: Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal after baking.
  3. Melt Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until fully liquefied.
  4. Add Honey and Sugar: Stir in honey and brown sugar into the melted butter, mixing until all sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  5. Remove from Heat: Take the saucepan off the heat and mix in the vanilla extract until evenly combined.
  6. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon to evenly distribute all dry elements.
  7. Create Well: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients to prepare for wet ingredient incorporation.
  8. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk and egg until smooth and homogeneous.
  9. Add Wet to Dry: Pour the buttermilk and egg mixture into the well in the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined to avoid overworking the batter.
  10. Incorporate Honey Butter Mixture: Fold the melted honey butter mixture into the batter carefully, ensuring it is fully incorporated without overmixing.
  11. Add Pecans: Fold in the chopped pecans evenly throughout the batter for a balanced nutty texture.
  12. Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
  13. Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating it is fully cooked.
  14. Cool in Pan: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes to set.
  15. Cool Completely: Transfer the bread onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing, which ensures clean slices and optimal texture.

Notes

  • If you prefer a sweeter bread, you can drizzle additional honey on top when serving.
  • For a crunchier topping, sprinkle some chopped pecans on the batter before baking.
  • Ensure not to overmix the batter once wet and dry ingredients are combined to keep the bread tender.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • You can substitute buttermilk with regular milk mixed with a teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice if necessary.
