Ingredients
- Fresh peaches or canned peaches (drained and sliced)
- All-purpose flour
- Sugar (granulated or brown sugar)
- Baking powder and baking soda
- Butter or oil
- Eggs
- Vanilla extract
- Buttermilk or milk
- Optional spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger
Instructions
- Prepare the Peach Mixture: Peel and slice fresh peaches or drain canned peaches, then toss with a tablespoon of flour.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter or oil, vanilla extract, and buttermilk until smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and spices if using.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in peaches.
- Bake the Peach Bread: Pour batter into a greased loaf pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool before slicing.
Notes
- Ripeness of peaches greatly influences flavor; fresh peaches yield the best results.
- Prevent sinking of peaches by tossing them with a little flour before folding into the batter.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing for cleaner cuts.
- Optional spices can be adjusted to taste for personalized flavor.
