Servings: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 cup (one stick) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups ripe peaches, peeled and roughly mashed (about 3-4 ripe peaches)
- 2 tsp. fresh squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place rack in middle of oven. Spray a 9x5 inch loaf pan generously with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together your butter and granulated sugar. Add your eggs and vanilla extract and stir with a rubber spatula until well blended. Roughly mash your peaches and 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.
- 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.
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.
