This looks fantastic Beth. Peaches and pecans are a great combo, especially for busy mornings. I’d grab a slice of this with a cup of coffee or tea for sure.

Thank so much Michelle! I just ate the last piece this morning with my coffee! I may have to make another batch! 🙂

This is perfect timing: my kids are starting back to school next week, and breakfast is always a rushed affair. A grab-n-go strategy is just the thing! This quick break looks amazing: I can’t wait to give it a try! (And snarf some down with my morning joe!)
Binky
Haha! Yes mornings are hectic with the kids back to school! Thanks for comment, Michelle! I hope you kids enjoy it!

When do you add the sugar? It states sift flour and next 6 ingredients, which does not include the sugar. I would think that you should add it with other dry ingredients.
Binky
I’m so sorry, Billye! I updated the recipe. The sugar is added to the wet ingredients and then the flour mixture is added! Thank you for pointing that out!!
