Cinnamon Sweet Alabama Pecan Bread

Step 4: Assemble the Bread

  1. Pour half of the prepared batter into the loaf pan, spreading it evenly to the edges.
  2. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon swirl mixture evenly over the batter.
  3. Pour the remaining batter on top, then sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon swirl mixture over it.
  4. Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl through the layers of batter to create a marbled effect. Avoid overmixing so you don’t lose the distinct ribbon pattern.
  5. Sprinkle the reserved pecans on top for added texture and visual appeal.

Step 5: Bake the Bread

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. The top should be golden brown, and the kitchen filled with the sweet aroma of cinnamon and pecans.
  2. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10–15 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing or slicing.

Step 6: Optional Glaze

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency with a touch more milk if needed — it should be thick but pourable.
  2. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread in slow, sweeping motions for a picture-perfect finish. Let the glaze set for 10 minutes before slicing.

Tips for the Perfect Cinnamon Sweet Alabama Pecan Bread

  • Toast your pecans: Lightly toasting the pecans enhances their flavor and adds crunch to every bite.
  • Don’t overmix: Stir just until the ingredients are combined to keep the crumb tender.
  • Storage: Wrap the cooled loaf tightly in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or 5 days in the refrigerator.
  • Freezing: This bread freezes beautifully! Wrap in plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight before serving.
