Ingredients
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup whole milk
½ cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cups fresh peaches, diced
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons melted butter
⅓ cup finely diced peaches
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1–2 tablespoons heavy cream (if needed)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, whole milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined—be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the diced peaches, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar, melted butter, diced peaches, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
- If the glaze is too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of heavy cream to reach the desired consistency.
- Once the bread has cooled completely, spread the glaze evenly over the top.
- Slice and enjoy the moist, peachy goodness with a sweet glaze that complements the bread perfectly.
Notes
- For a spiced version, add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
- For a nutty twist, add ½ cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.
- For a vegan version, substitute the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons of water) and use a plant-based milk like almond milk.
- For a gluten-free option, swap out the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- To freeze, wrap the bread tightly in plastic wrap and foil, and thaw at room temperature when ready to serve.
