Cooking with Alicia and Annie: Peach-Pecan Bread

This sweet bread comes from Annie's Easy Recipes, and the original can be found here. It's a great way to use up fresh peaches that are getting a little past their prime, and it's really delicious. The bread is pleasantly sweet and has good peach flavor without being too sweet to have for breakfast. (Of course, I'm likely to eat cake for breakfast, but some people don't seem to like that so much...) The bread also has a nice, crunchy crust. Yum!

If you try this recipe or another from Annie's site, be sure to post about it and enter in Cooking with Alicia and Annie!


Peach-Pecan Bread (recipe from Annie's Easy Recipes)

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 T baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh peaches
1 T lemon juice
1/3 cup neutral oil
1/3 cup milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1/3 cup chopped pecans

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a loaf pan.
2. Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine the peaches and lemon juice. Pour the oil, milk, vanilla, and eggs into a two-cup measuring cup.
3. Add the oil-milk mixture to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Fold in the peaches and pecans, and then pour into the loaf pan.
4. Bake 55-60 minutes until a tester comes out clean.

  2. Hi Sara, just wanted to let you know that I have posted your photo on Annie's! You can view it here http://www.anniesrecipes.com/Recipe/867/Peach-Tea-Bread.htm I only have one question. In the title of your post you say "Peach-Pecan Bread" but the recipe you listed and linked to is the "Peach Tea Bread". There is a "Peachy Pecan Bread" so I just wanted to make sure I posted the photo on the right recipe.
