Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup butter melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, pour it into a large mixing bowl. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well until combined.
- Beat in the eggs until fully combined. Then, stir in the self-rising flour until just mixed. Add the chopped pecans and mix until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared 9x13 baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the bars turn light brown. Keep an eye on them towards the end to avoid overbaking.
- Let the Pecan Chewies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can toast the pecans before adding them to the batter.
