Sweet Alabama Pecan Bread

Ingredients You’ll Need
(Standard 9x5-inch loaf pan; makes 1 generous loaf)
The Dry Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar (Brown sugar adds moisture and a deep molasses flavor that white sugar can't match!)
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon (For that warm, farmhouse spice note)
The Wet Ingredients
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup buttermilk (If you don't have buttermilk, see the science tip below!)
½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled (or vegetable oil for an even moister crumb)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
The Star of the Show
1 ½ cups pecan halves or pieces, roughly chopped (Plus a few extra halves to press into the top for a beautiful bakery-style finish!)
