Ingredients
Scale
For the Batter:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- ½ cup honey
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
For Topping:
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in the melted butter and honey until well combined.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Fold in the chopped pecans.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Let cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For extra richness, drizzle with additional honey or serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
- Toasting the pecans before folding them in enhances their flavor.
