Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped pecans and toast until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 or 9-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  3. Melt 1 stick of butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Cool slightly and mix in brown sugar. Whisk in the egg until smooth.
  4. Sift together flour, baking powder, and optional cinnamon in a bowl. Fold into the wet mixture gently.
  5. Fold in cooled buttered pecans, toffee bits, and white chocolate chips.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 25-30 minutes until edges are golden.
  7. Cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes. Lift out using parchment, slice into squares, and serve.
