General Baking Tips:
Always measure dry ingredients with a dry measuring cup. Measure with dry measuring cups or weigh dry ingredients.
Always measure liquid ingredients with liquid measuring cup
Never break eggs directly into recipe ingredients. Break eggs into a separate bowl, in case you get any shells, so that you can pull them out.
Make sure that you know what temperature your oven is set at. Buy an oven thermometer and check oven temperature regularly.
Always check baked goods, like cakes or quick breads with cake tester, placed in center. If the tester comes out clean, it’s done.

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.
Binky
Thank so much Michelle! I just ate the last piece this morning with my coffee! I may have to make another batch! 🙂
Michelle Frank | Flipped-Out Food
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!!
Dana
I’ve never had peach bread in my life, but with how much I love banana breads and apple breads, I really feel like I’m missing out. This is gorgeous!
