Description
This Moist Peach Bread is a soft, tender loaf bursting with fresh peach flavor, subtly spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg. The addition of sour cream keeps it moist, and an optional glaze adds a sweet finish.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg (optional)
¼ tsp salt
½ cup sugar
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
1 ½ cups peeled, diced fresh or canned peaches (drained if canned)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk the oil, sugars, eggs, vanilla, and sour cream until smooth.
- Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until combined. Gently fold in the diced peaches.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- (Optional) For a glaze, mix ½ cup powdered sugar with 1–2 tablespoons peach juice or milk and drizzle over the cooled bread.
Notes
Can add chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch.
Use melted butter instead of oil for richer flavor.
Make muffins with the same batter; bake 20–25 minutes.
Store wrapped at room temperature up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
Thaw and drain frozen peaches before use to avoid sogginess.
Greek yogurt can substitute sour cream.
Use a toothpick test to check doneness.
Glaze is optional but adds sweetness and peach flavor.
