• Salt
• Plain yogurt
• Sugar
• Eggs
• Orange zest 
• Vanilla extract

If you don’t have coconut oil melted butter will also work. 

How to Make Peach Bread

Grab your mixing bowls and whisks so we can make this delicious quick bread.

1. Prepare
   Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan, dust with flour, and tap out excess.
2. Dust
   Not talking about the house! In a small bowl, mix diced peaches with 1 tablespoon of flour. Toss them around until they are all evenly coated with flour.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients
   In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. Combine the Wet Ingredients
   In a large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, mix yogurt, sugar, eggs, orange zest, vanilla, and coconut oil until combined.
5. Add them Together
   Working in batches, add the flour mix to the wet, making sure to stir until just combined after each addition.
6. Pour and Bake
   Add the batter into the pan and bake 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
7. Cool off and Grab a Slice
   Let bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before removing from pan. Pour yourself a cup of coffee or tea, grab a slice and enjoy!

Which Peaches Are Best?

You can use either fresh peaches or that frozen stash in your freezer to make this homemade bread. Frozen peaches will need to be thawed before adding to the recipe, but there is no real difference in flavor or texture when baked into the batter. Now you know what to make with the abundance of summer peaches you picked up from the local market.
