Recipe Box, Peachy Pecan Bread
I had 2 juicy ripe summer peaches that needed to be used
so I decided to make a peach and pecan quick bread,
inspired by a recipe on my bucket list this month
I love quick breads because they are made with pantry staples
They’re easy to assemble and will fill your kitchen
with tempting aromas while they’re baking
Flour, sugar, baking powder, confectioners sugar,
almond and vanilla extracts, milk, pecans, eggs, butter
and peaches!
Cream the butter with the granulated sugar
Then add the wet ingredients,
mixing well and then add the dry ingredients
Next fold in the peaches and pecans
I used honey roasted pecans that I bought at the grocery store
Another tasty choice would be Buttery Praline Pecans
Transfer batter to a well greased 9″ x 5″ loaf pan
Bake at 350 degrees for 55 minutes,
then cover top with foil to prevent further browning,
and continue to bake for 10-20 more minutes until the center is done
Place pan on rack to cool for 1 hour then invert pan onto a plate
and continue to cool bottom side up
When loaf has cooled,
make a simple glaze with confectioners sugar,
almond extract and milk
{I actually used Almond milk creamer
because I used up all the milk I had making the batter}
Drizzle glaze over bread, slice and enjoy!

This quick bread looks delicious! Everything is in the pantry only need peaches and I’ll pick up Chilton County peaches this afternoon. Your glaze sounds so good………..
Thanks Emily! Chilton County peaches are the best!
Oh, man, this looks fabulous. And you know a Georgia Gal like me definitely has peaches on her counter so the wonderful smell will waft through the kitchen. I have been buying the peaches from Fort Valley, GA and they are perfect–found them at Publix. Thanks, Bama, for a great recipe. This is a keeper!
Thanks Georgia Gal, we do have wonderful peaches in the South! So good paired with our pecans too!
I have every ingredient for this at home, where I will be by Monday. By then I’ll have some fresh peaches, too! MUST use some in this delicious sounding bread!
Thanks Jeanie, I hope you enjoy it!
Looks yummy Jenna! I have a similar recipe with apples and pecans that everyone loves. ♥
Perfect for fall!
Whaaaaat?! That looks absolutely amazing, Jenna, and before I even finished reading the post I had added honey roasted pecans to my shopping list. I have everything else needed to make it, and if I had the pecans right now, I’d be up in the kitchen already! Thanks for sharing it at TFT. 🙂
