Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the brown and white sugars with the vegetable oil and eggs. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Add Flavor: Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the self-rising flour and salt, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Fold in Pecans: Gently fold the toasted pecans into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool & Serve: Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes before cutting into squares. Enjoy as-is, or serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence.
