Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Set aside a 9 x 5 greased or non-stick loaf pan.
In a large bowl mix together the wet ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk to combine the dry ingredients, except the pecans, and set aside. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Fold the batter until almost combined then add in the pecans. Stir to combine. Do not overmix the batter.
With a rubber spatula, scrape the mixture and pour evenly into the loaf pan.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the middle is cooked through (it is done if a knife or toothpick inserted comes out clean).
