Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (peeled, pitted, and diced) fresh peaches
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup (packed) light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup (melted) unsalted butter
- 2 units large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cup milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Stir until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry mixture. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Gently fold in the diced peaches, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve plain, with butter, or a dollop of whipped cream for a heavenly treat.
