Easy Peach Bread Recipe

Peachy Keen Bread Bliss

Okay, so who else thinks peaches just scream summer? Like, I wanna dive into a pool of them—so juicy and sweet! 🍑

Alright, let’s dive into this peach bread thing. Seriously, it’s like a warm hug in loaf form. Like, you’re gonna want to make this every week. It’s that good.

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

So, picture this: you’re in the grocery store, right? You’re on a mission to grab some fresh peaches, but then you see that sugar on sale, and you’re like, “Yesss, why not?!”

Here’s a rundown:
– 1 cup granulated sugar (sweet dreams, baby)
– 3/4 cup milk (I usually go for whole, but whatever you like)
– 3/4 cup canola oil (or vegetable, it’s all good)
– 2 large eggs (I always double-check ’cause you never know)
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (the magic ingredient!)
– 2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (let’s get that bread-y goodness)
– 2 teaspoons baking powder (for the rise, duh)
– 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon (just a hint of cozy)
– dash salt (don’t skip it!)
– 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced (this is the star of the show!)
– 2 tablespoons melted butter (for the glaze, yum)
– 1/3 cup finely diced peaches (for the glaze too, more peachy goodness)
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (yes, again 😍)
– 1-2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk (to get that glaze just right)
– 2 cups powdered sugar (sweetness overload!)

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, let me spill the tea. I made this for the first time when my neighbor gifted me a bag of peaches from their tree. They were ripe, and I was like, “What do I even do with all these?” So, I googled (obviously) and found this recipe. The first bite was like a sweet, soft, peachy cloud. I swear I could hear angels. And now? It’s a summer staple in my kitchen! I mean, who doesn’t love the smell of baking bread wafting through the house? It’s a total mood, right?

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Okay, listen up! When you’re folding those peaches into the batter—be gentle! Like, you don’t wanna turn it into mush. Just fold, don’t stir. It keeps those lovely chunks intact, and trust me, you want those bites of peachy goodness, not just peach-flavored bread. 🙌

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

1. Check your peaches! If they’re mushy or have weird spots, toss ‘em. You want the good stuff.
2. Don’t over-mix! Seriously, it’s tempting to whip that batter into submission, but you want it to be nice and fluffy.
3. Glaze it up! The glaze is not optional. I repeat, NOT optional. It takes your peach bread from “meh” to “OMG, I need more.”
4. Cool before you slice! Let it chill for a bit. The flavors get even better once it cools down, promise!

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

So, if you miraculously have leftovers (which is a major “how?!”), just pop them in an airtight container and stash them in the fridge. They’ll last a few days, but let’s be real—good luck keeping them around that long!
