Ingredients
Scale
For the Bread:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup melted butter
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups peeled, diced fresh peaches
For the Glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tsp milk or cream
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan to ensure the bread doesn’t stick after baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, melted butter, plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream), and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredient mixture until just combined; be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the peeled and diced fresh peaches to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
- Bake the Bread: Pour the prepared batter into the greased loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating the bread is fully cooked.
- Cool the Bread: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes to set. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely, preventing sogginess from trapped moisture.
- Prepare and Add Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, 1 to 2 teaspoons of milk or cream, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle this glaze generously over the cooled bread before serving to add a sweet finishing touch.
Notes
- For best flavor and texture, use ripe but firm peaches to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
- You can substitute the Greek yogurt with sour cream or buttermilk for slight variations in moisture and tang.
- If fresh peaches are not available, frozen peaches can be used; just ensure they are well drained and patted dry.
- The glaze amount can be adjusted to taste; add more milk for a thinner glaze or less for a thicker drizzle.
- This bread stores well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or can be frozen for longer storage.
