Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and diced
• 0.75 cup pecans, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs and add in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Step 4

Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be thick.

Step 5

Fold in the diced peaches and chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve slices warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with a spread of butter or a drizzle of honey for extra indulgence!
