Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 unit large egg
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups peaches (fresh or canned, peeled and diced)
- 0.75 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts recommended)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, ground cinnamon, and baking soda.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
Fold in the diced peaches and chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the Peach Nut Squares to cool completely in the baking dish before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Cut into 16 squares for serving.
Enjoy these squares as a standalone treat or pair with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence!
