Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour: provides structure and a tender crumb
- 1 cup granulated sugar: adds sweetness and enhances the peach flavor
- 2 large eggs: bind ingredients and add richness
- 1/2 cup milk: creates a softer texture
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil: keeps the loaf moist
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: adds aroma and depth of flavor
- 2 cups fresh peaches, diced: provide fruity sweetness and moisture
- 2 teaspoons baking powder: helps the loaf rise
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda: supports leavening
- 1/2 teaspoon salt: balances flavors
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon: adds warm spice flavor
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare a loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- Wash and dice the peaches into small pieces, then pat them dry if they contain excess moisture.
- Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold the diced peaches into the batter carefully to distribute them evenly.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool the bread before slicing and serving for the best texture.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches for the sweetest flavor and best texture.
- Canned or frozen peaches can be used when fresh peaches are unavailable. Drain or thaw them before adding.
- Do not overmix the batter to prevent a dense loaf.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- The loaf can be frozen and enjoyed later after thawing.
