2. Mix ½ cup butter and brown sugar together in a large bowl, until blended and creamy. Stir in eggs, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie spice, molasses, buttermilk, vanilla, 1 cup flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together with sweetened butter mixture until blended and smooth. Gradually add remaining 1 ½ cups flour until blended and smooth. Stir in peaches and 2/3 cup pecans. Divide batter evenly between prepared greased and floured loaf pans.
3. Bake 50 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in loaf pans on wire cooling rack. Loosen sides of loaves from pans; remove from pans and place top side up on wire rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.

Tips:

Use ripe peaches: The riper the peaches, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
Peel the peaches: Peeling the peaches will give your bread a smoother texture.
Toss the peaches in sugar: This will help to prevent them from browning.
Use a combination of flours: All-purpose flour and whole wheat flour will give your bread a nice texture and flavor.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make your bread tough.
Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that your bread is cooked through.
