Step-by-Step Instructions for Peach Pecan Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your equipment: a 9x5 inch loaf pan and mixing bowls.
  2. Peel and chop about two ripe peaches, setting them aside in a bowl. Roughly chop a cup of pecans.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 cup of milk, ⅓ cup of canola oil, and 2 beaten eggs until smooth.
  4. Gradually add 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of baking powder. Carefully fold until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the diced peaches and chopped pecans into the batter.
  6. Grease your prepared pan with butter or cooking spray and transfer the batter into the pan, smoothing the top.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for about 20 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For the optional glaze, whisk 1 cup of powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth and drizzle over the cooled bread.
