Peach Pecan Bread

Oh my goodness this peach pecan bread is delicious! It is really a dessert bread but can be eaten for breakfast, dessert, or if you just need something sweet and wonderful in the middle of the day.

I typically buy a box of Palisade peaches, which we get here in Colorado in the beginning of fall but they are only available for a few weeks. 

This year, a lot of the peaches didn’t come out right (there’s a reason but I forget what it was) so I only bought a half box. Well, we have peaches coming out of our ears even with the half box. I keep making pies, cobblers, and we eat them every day but they’re still around.

So, I found this amazing recipe for peach bread and tried it – it came out great! 

I did adjust the amount of ingredients the original recipe had because it would have made 2 loaf pans.

I also added icing to the top because I LOVE icing and sweetness… but if you prefer a dryer bread, skip the icing.

If you don’t want to use dairy, you might try applesauce instead to provide sweetness and moisture.

This is a great recipe that is actually really easy to put together, it just takes a bit of time to bake.

Because we cook for high altitude here in Colorado, I take mine out at the 60 minute mark. I have seen some people go all the way up to 80 minutes of bake time to make sure it’s fully cooked, but I would recommend covering with foil after 60 minutes so you don’t burn. 

Enjoy! 🙂
