Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup milk + 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 2 large eggs

Fruits and Nuts

  • 2 large peaches, peeled, pitted, and cut into chunks
  • 1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare Peaches and Pecans: Peel and pit the peaches, then cut them into chunks. Coarsely chop the pecans and set both aside.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together the granulated sugar, 1/4 cup milk, canola oil, and eggs until well combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. The batter will be slightly dry, which is normal for this recipe.
  4. Incorporate Peaches and Pecans: Gently fold the peach chunks and chopped pecans into the batter until they are evenly distributed.
  5. Prepare to Bake: Spoon the batter into a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan or two smaller half-size loaf pans, smoothing the top.
  6. Bake the Bread: Place the loaf pan in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 20 minutes.
  7. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons milk until smooth and slightly runny.
  8. Glaze the Bread: Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread just before serving to add sweetness and a glossy finish.

Notes

  • The batter being slightly dry is typical and ensures a good texture with the added peaches and pecans.
  • Ensure peaches are peeled to avoid tough skin in the bread.
  • You can substitute canola oil with any neutral oil like vegetable or light olive oil.
  • If peaches are very juicy, gently pat them dry before folding into the batter to avoid excess moisture.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use a suitable powdered sugar glaze alternative.
  • Check for doneness by inserting a thin knife or toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
