Sweet Alabama Pecan Bread is perfectly rich, moist, and indulgent! These dessert bars are lick-your-plate, dangerously good!

The name is a little misleading. This isn’t bread that you typically think of when you think of ‘bread’. Alabama Pecanbread is a sweet and dense dessert. It has a nice caramel flavor and full of pecans. Sweet Pecan Bread is lighter than a blondie or brownie, but denser than a cake.

If that sounds odd, it’s not. It’s actually very good and hard to stop eating once you have one bite.

Sweet Alabama pecan bread has a similar taste as these Caramel Blondies, but a slightly different texture.

Although it is a little difficult to describe what Alabama Pecanbread actually is. It’s not hard at all to make. While I did use an electric mixer, it’s not necessary. You can use a whisk and arm power to mix it together.

Additionally, you can use any nut. Pecans are popular in the South. Almonds and walnuts would be good.

One cup oil is a lot of oil and you can reduce that to 3/4 cup if you want to. However, I don’t recommend reducing more than that.

    Is it supposed to be a little gooey! Mine was well done around the edges but the middle almost tasted under baked even though a golden brown on top and bottom.

      It is really moist and sticky. Did you bake in a 9×13-inch pan? You might want to calibrate your oven> https://www.callmepmc.com/how-to-calibrate-your-oven/

    If using all purpose flour do I need to add anything else?

    Reply

      Here is some info on substituting.
      “There are some cases in which you can substitute the same amount of self-rising flour for the amount of all-purpose flour called for in a recipe. If a recipe calls for ½ teaspoon to 1 teaspoon of baking powder per 1 cup of all-purpose flour, it’s safe to swap in self-rising flour. Just keep in mind to omit the baking powder and salt from the recipe if it’s ¼ teaspoon of salt per cup of flour; however, you’ll need to add more of these ingredients to compensate if the proportions are greater than self-rising flour. For example, this Blueberry-Peach Upside Down Cake calls specifically for 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder. In this case, you can safely replace the flour and baking powder with self-rising flour. Note that there is already about ¼ teaspoon of salt per cup of self-rising flour, so you’ll need to cut the salt as well.

      This can go in the other direction too. If a recipe, like these Country Fried Beef Biscuit Sliders, specifically calls for self-rising flour, you’ll want to make sure you’re using the right kind. If you don’t have self-rising on hand, you can make your own self-rising flour by combining 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder and one scant 1/2 teaspoon of table salt. Just whisk together and get to cooking.”

    Is there a way to make this diabetic friendly? I would love to make this for company that is coming, but it needs to be diabetic friendly. They are coming this week, so would appreciate a quick response, if possible.

    Thanks,

      I’ve never baked diabetic-friendly foods, I searched and searched and asked my baking friends and I couldn’t get any sound information on substitutions. I did find this that might help you https://www.everydaydiabeticrecipes.com/Cakes/Delectable-Diabetic-Cake-Recipes-Best-Healthy-Cake-Recipes-Ever
