Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 4 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, brown sugar, oil, and eggs until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Fold in the chopped pecans evenly.
- Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool completely before slicing into squares. Best served at room temperature or slightly warm.
Notes
Toast the pecans for enhanced flavor. For richer flavor, substitute melted butter for oil.
