Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Fruit
- 1 cup diced peaches (fresh, frozen, or canned)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the bread evenly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and sugar until well combined for an even distribution of flavors.
- Add Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the bread tender.
- Fold in Peaches: Gently fold in the diced peaches, distributing them evenly throughout the batter without breaking them up too much.
- Prepare Pan and Bake: Pour the batter into a greased or lined loaf pan, smoothing the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the peach bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy as a delicious breakfast or dessert.
Notes
- Use fresh, frozen (thawed), or canned peaches based on availability; adjust moisture if using canned peaches by draining well.
- For added crunch and flavor, fold in ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts.
- Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Serve warm toasted slices with butter or cream cheese for an extra special treat.
