  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Slice, serve, and enjoy your delicious Peach Pecan Bread!
