Description

You’re going to love this one—imagine the burst of juicy peaches, the tender crumb, and that hint of vanilla goodness that makes this recipe absolutely irresistible; trust me, you need to try this ASAP!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup diced peaches (peeled; fresh, frozen, or canned all work)
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup sugar (can substitute with stevia)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup sour cream (or use plain Greek yogurt)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour (sub with almond flour for gluten-free option)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Optional Add-ins:
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • Streusel topping
  • Chopped pecans or blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan—or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk oil, sugar, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Slowly fold dry ingredients into wet mixture—do not overmix!
  5. Gently stir in the diced peaches.
  6. Pour batter into your prepared pan.
  7. Bake 25–30 minutes for mini loaves or 50–55 minutes for one large loaf.
  8. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  9. Tip: The bread is best served warm, maybe even with a dab of butter or scoop of vanilla ice cream (yes, really!).

Notes

Fresh peaches in season are a dream, but don’t worry—canned or frozen (just thaw them!) work beautifully. Don’t overmix, and remember: this bread freezes like a charm. Add cinnamon or blueberries to make it your own!
