Equipment
- 2 mixing bowls
- whisk or spatula
- measuring cups and spoons
- loaf pan 9x5 inch
- parchment paper optional
- toothpick
- cooling rack
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup melted butter
- 2 cups juicy peaches, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a standard 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Tip: Lining with parchment also makes it easier to lift the loaf out of the pan after baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, coconut sugar, salt, and cinnamon until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing. A few lumps are fine and will help keep the bread tender instead of dense.
- Gently fold in the chopped or mashed peaches until they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake the peach bread for 60 to 65 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
