Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, melted butter, and egg until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined, then fold in the chopped pecans.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
