✏️ How to make Cinnamon Pecan Bread:

*The complete, printable recipe with all ingredients and instructions is at the end of this post.

1. Preheat the oven to 350℉ Spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
2. In a small bowl, stir together the cinnamon-pecan ingredients. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a medium bowl, beat the egg with a fork, and then stir in the milk and oil. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (it will be lumpy).
4. Spoon half of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with half of the cinnamon-pecan mixture. Pour the rest of the batter on top. And then sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-pecan mixture on the very top. Use a butter knife to cut down through the batter and pull up and around to create a swirled, marbled effect.
5. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes (or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean). 

Cool in a pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove the bread from the pan, and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Wrap and store overnight before slicing.

➡️ Recipe Tips and Substitutions:

• If you have a nut allergy or do not care for nuts, it’s okay to leave them out.
• Walnuts are a good substitution for pecans, if you prefer.
• Try using slices of this cinnamon pecan bread to make French toast!

✔️ How to Store Cinnamon Pecan Bread:

Wrap the bread in plastic wrap, and let it sit overnight before slicing and serving. This bread will be fine served at room temperature for a few days. It may also be frozen. Double wrap the bread (or place the wrapped bread in a large zip baggie), and freeze for up to 3 months.

❤️ Why I Love This Recipe:

1. I love the crunchy layer of cinnamon and sugar on the top of the bread.
2. It feels like eating a piece of cake, but it’s not quite as decadent.
3. I like to wrap and freeze individual slices so it can be enjoyed whenever the mood strikes!
