Ingredients

  • Dry ingredients:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Wet ingredients:
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
  • Add-ins:
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced (or canned/frozen, well-drained)
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, beat eggs with both sugars until smooth.
  4. Stir in oil, vanilla, and sour cream until fully combined.
  5. Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture—do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in diced peaches and nuts (if using).
  7. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Pat peaches dry to avoid excess moisture.
  • Add nutmeg or cinnamon-sugar topping for extra flavor.
  • Drizzle with vanilla glaze after cooling if desired.
  • Brown butter adds a rich, nutty twist.
  • Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend to make it GF-friendly.
  • To make muffins: divide into tins and bake for 18–22 minutes at 350°F.
