Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the vegetable oil, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the diced peaches and, if using, the chopped pecans or walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, tent it with aluminum foil halfway through baking.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve the Georgia Peach Bread as-is or with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of glaze for extra sweetness.
