Preheat your oven to 350F (175C) and grease a loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time and mix in vanilla extract.
In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with buttermilk. Mix until just combined and fold in toasted pecans.
