Peach Bread Ingredients

It doesn’t take much to make a loaf (or two!) of this peach bread. As stated above you can use fresh or frozen peaches, but if you plan on using frozen be sure to defrost them before folding them into the batter.

Here’s what you need:

Peaches: fresh or frozen. If using frozen, thaw them first.
Flour: adds structure. Use regular or your favorite 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose flour.
Baking powder: raises the batter and gives this bread a fluffy texture.
Salt: enhances all the flavors.
Plain yogurt: for a super moist texture.
Sugar: adds sweetness.
Eggs: help to bind all the ingredients.
Orange zest: optional for extra flavor.
Vanilla extract: a classic taste when baking!
Coconut oil: melted butter also works.

You’ll find the measurements in the recipe card below.

How to Make Peach Bread

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

Prepare
Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan, dust with flour, and tap out excess.
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.
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
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.
Add them Together
Working in batches, add the flour mix to the wet, making sure to stir until just combined after each addition.
Pour and Bake
Add the batter into the pan and bake 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
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.

This peaches and cream bread is a super, delicious quick bread that’s perfect to pack in a lunchbox or as an afternoon snack.

Servings: 1 loaf

Prep Time 10

Cook Time 55

Total Time 1 5

Ingredients

1 ½ cups peaches, diced fresh or frozen
1 ½ cups + 1 tablespoon all purpose flour, divided
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup plain yogurt
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons orange zest from 1 large orange, optional
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup melted coconut oil

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9×5″ loaf pan, dust with flour, and tap out excess. Alternatively, you can line loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix diced peaches with 1 tablespoon of flour. Using your hands, toss them around until they are all evenly coated with flour. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the pan when baking.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, or the bowl of your stand mixer, mix yogurt, sugar, eggs, orange zest, vanilla, and coconut oil on low speed until all items are thoroughly combined.
Slowly add the flour mix to the wet, making sure there are no clumps but careful that you don’t over mix. Gently fold flour-coated peaches into the batter.
Pour the batter into the pan and bake 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before removing from pan.
