Description
Spiced Peach Bread is a delightful quick bread that combines the sweetness of ripe peaches with aromatic spices, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 1/2 cups diced peaches (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
- 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream or Greek yogurt, mixing until smooth.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Fold in the diced peaches and any optional add-ins.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy peaches. Adjust spices to suit your taste. Enjoy with coffee or as a dessert with ice cream.
