Description
A rich, chewy Southern-style dessert bar packed with toasted pecans, brown sugar, and vanilla—easy to make and even easier to love.
Ingredients
Chopped pecans (toasted)
White granulated sugar
Brown sugar
Self‑rising flour
Vegetable oil
Eggs
Vanilla extract
Salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Toast and chop pecans; set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, whisk white sugar, brown sugar, oil, and eggs until smooth.
Stir in vanilla extract.
Fold in self‑rising flour and salt until just combined.
Gently fold in pecans.
Pour batter into prepared dish and spread evenly.
Bake 30–35 minutes or until golden and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
Cool for 10 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Add a teaspoon of cinnamon for extra warmth.
Substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds as needed.
Drizzle with a buttery glaze (melted butter + powdered sugar) for a shiny finish.
Bake in muffin tins for individual portions.
Use gluten-free self-rising flour to make it gluten-free.
