Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until fluffy.
Add in the honey, eggs, and vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add this mixture to your wet ingredients until just combined.
Fold in the chopped pecans gently, making sure not to overmix the batter.

Baking

Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For storing, refrigerate leftover bread for up to 1 week or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, slice and warm in a toaster oven or microwave.
