Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup buttermilk
- 0.33 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups ripe peaches, peeled and diced
- 0.75 cup pecans, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the diced peaches and chopped pecans using a spatula, ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve and enjoy your Peachy Pecan Bread warm or at room temperature.
