Peach Bread

Gather up some gorgeous summer peaches and make this tasty Peach Bread folks! It’s super simple, loaded with sweet peach flavor and perfect for breakfast, dessert or just plain snacking!

Step-By-Step Instructions

The first step is to whisk together flour, cinnamon and baking soda in a medium bowl and then set aside.

The second step is to cream together your room temperature butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl.

The third step is to add your room temperature eggs and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

The fourth step is to roughly mash your peaches, toss with your lemon juice, then add to your butter mixture until well combined. Next up, you’ll add your flour mixture and mix until just combined. Do not over mix.

The last step is to pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top with an offset spatula. You’ll bake your loaf for 55-60 minutes or until your tester comes out clean. If bread is browning too quickly tent it with a piece of tinfoil. Remove from oven and let cool on wire rack for 15 minutes before removing from pan.

Everyone’s oven is a bit different, so begin testing your loaf for doneness at 55 minutes and keep checking every 4-5 minutes until your tester comes out clean.

This is such a delicious way to use up those beautiful peaches this season. It’s one of my favorites. Hope it becomes one of yours too!

• 1 1/2 cups ripe peaches, peeled and roughly mashed (about 3-4 ripe peaches)

Notes

When you mash up your peaches, leave some chunks.

I add one teaspoon ground cinnamon, but if you like more cinnamon flavor you can add a 1/2 of a teaspoon more.

You'll need 1 1/2 cups mashed peaches, so about 3-4 large peaches.
