Savor the taste and aroma of naturally sweet pecans paired with citrus and spices. Pair it with a side of fresh fruit at breakfast or have it with tea for a delicious afternoon snack.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and lightly oil a rectangular loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour(s), baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and sugar.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the orange zest, juice, oil, and water. Add these wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until they’re just evenly combined (a few clumps are fine). Fold in 1/2 cup pecan pieces. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf, then sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup pecan pieces on top.
Bake the loaf for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set. Allow it to cool for 15 minutes before removing the loaf from the pan, then transfer it to a wire rack. Allow it to cool to room temperature before slicing and serving.
You may also use unbleached, all purpose flour, or a combination of AP & whole wheat
