Description

This moist and flavorful Peach Bread is a delightful homemade treat perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack. Made with juicy canned peaches, Greek yogurt, and a hint of lemon zest, it offers a balanced sweetness and tender crumb. Baked to golden perfection, this loaf combines simple pantry staples with fresh fruit for a comforting and wholesome bread.

Ingredients

Fruit

  • 1 can peaches (drained, 14 oz/400 grams)

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (280 grams)
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder (12 grams)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (220 grams)

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs, beaten, at room temperature
  • ½ cup unsweetened Greek yogurt (120 grams)
  • ¼ cup olive oil (50 milliliters)
  • 1 lemon, zest only

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the bread evenly.
  2. Prepare Peaches: Drain the canned peaches thoroughly, then cut them into small pieces and set aside to incorporate into the batter later.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and granulated sugar. Use a wooden spoon to mix these thoroughly, ensuring the leavening agent is evenly distributed.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: To the dry mixture, add the beaten eggs, Greek yogurt, and olive oil. Stir gently but well until all ingredients are fully combined into a smooth batter.
  5. Incorporate Peaches and Lemon Zest: Fold in the chopped peaches and freshly grated lemon zest carefully to distribute fruit and flavor without overmixing.
  6. Prepare Loaf Pan: Line a 9.5 x 5-inch (24.5 x 11 cm) loaf pan with baking parchment paper. This prevents sticking and facilitates easy removal of the bread once baked.
  7. Pour Batter: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top evenly.
  8. Bake Bread: Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 50 minutes. After 50 minutes, lower the oven temperature to 320°F (160°C) and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating the bread is fully baked.
  9. Cool Bread: Remove the loaf from the oven and transfer it onto a cooling rack. Let it cool completely for best texture and easier slicing.
  10. Serve: Enjoy the peach bread as is or enhance its flavor with butter, jam, or honey as desired.

Notes

  • Make sure to drain peaches well to avoid excess moisture in the batter, which can affect the bread’s texture.
  • If you do not have olive oil, you can substitute with a light vegetable oil or melted butter.
  • Using room temperature eggs helps create a smoother batter and improved rise.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend and adjust baking powder as required.
