Why a Caramel Pecan Bread Recipe?
Why not? I love caramel and caramel with pecans is just so divine so at first I was thinking of a pecan pie but I didn't want to go quite that sweet or sticky for my first recipe video so decided on this caramel pecan sweet bread recipe instead. Sweet bread is very cake like but this way I get to fool myself into thinking I'm not eating dessert before dinner instead haha.
What is Sweet Bread?
Sweet bread is an easy quick bread that does not use yeast! Think of banana breads, or how about an orange sweet bread or a lemon one which most will just call a lemon loaf? All tasty and making me hungry too!Check out our recipe video of this delicious caramel pecan bread and you can follow up with the recipe below it when you're ready to make this loaf of tastiness.

Let me tell you when this loaf is baking in the oven, the aromas that fill your kitchen are simply mouth-watering. My daughter came wandering into the kitchen as this was baking asking what smelled so good. She could not wait for it to cool before having a slice.
I admit I could barely wait for this pecan and caramel bread to cool before I had a slice too. It's delicious to have while enjoying your cup of coffee or tea. My only regret was that I did not double the recipe the first time. I did not make that mistake the next time I baked it ha ha

The coffee gives it another subtle flavor that complements the caramel and pecans and almost gives it bit more of a caramel bit in my opinion, which I love this flavor.

Everyone loved this sweet bread. Added a bit of cinnamon to the dry ingredients and vanilla to the wet ingredients. Baked it just as the directions indicated. It came out perfect!!
So happy to hear, thanks for sharing 🙂
These recipes sound so good. I love trying new desserts. Thank you so much for sharing these
I thought I would make this before actually posting a review (what a novel idea) - anyway, here is what happened. I followed the recipe directly and did not make any changes. The bread was not done after 25 minutes, nor after the additional 15 minutes. I had to turn the oven up to 400 and bake it yet another 20 minutes before it was done - at that point, the top was beginning to brown a little too much. The caramel sauce had flowed over the sides of my bread and had congealed in bottom of the pan, making the bread stick. I spooned out what remained in the pan and spread it on top of the bread with the pecans. The flavor of the bread itself was okay, but a little flat one-dimensional - some cinnamon or nutmeg might have helped - maybe. Its only saving grace was the caramel topping, which probably should be added halfway through baking instead of the very beginning. Overall, this was a big disappointment and so not worth the time or ingredients.
Hi Stephanie,
I'm so sorry to hear this didn't work for you. Unfortunately, a variety of variables can affect a recipe including how different ovens heat, some are hotter than others, some hotter on one side, age of ingredients like baking powder, even elevation as higher altitudes can affect a recipe, yes seriously. I've made this a few times and have not had any of your same issues. Again sorry to hear it didn't work for you.
This sounds and looks delicious!
Oh! Yummy! This looks so delicious and super easy to make!
This looks like such a treat. I would love a piece or two of this with my morning coffee.
I am a huge fan of sweet breads because I do NOT, thankfully have a major sweet tooth.
Just the right about of sugar when craving and generally much healthier too.
