Delight in the sweet, moist texture of Heavenly Peach Bread, a perfect combination of fresh peaches and tender homemade bread, finished with a luscious peach glaze for an irresistible treat.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Bread:

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups fresh peaches, diced

For the Glaze:

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/3 cup finely diced peaches
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tablespoons heavy cream (if needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, whole milk, vegetable oil, egg, and pure vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt together ensuring even distribution of the leavening agents and salt.
  4. Incorporate dry into wet: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain a tender crumb.
  5. Add peaches: Carefully fold in the diced fresh peaches to the batter, distributing them evenly without crushing.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until the bread turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool bread: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Prepare glaze: In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, melted butter, finely diced peaches, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of heavy cream if needed to achieve desired consistency.
  9. Glaze and serve: Spread the glaze evenly over the cooled bread before slicing and serving to enhance flavor and moisture.

Notes

  • Choose ripe but firm peaches for the best texture and flavor.
  • Store glazed bread in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
  • You can freeze unglazed bread for up to 3 months; glaze after thawing for best results.
