Are you ready to make peach bread? When I made this peach bread I knew I had to share this deliciously tasty recipe with you!

There is nothing like adding fresh seasonal fruits to your baking, bread, and desserts. But, when peaches aren’t in season, you can use canned peaches to make this recipe.

When you’re baked bread is done you can serve this as a breakfast loaf, snack, or dessert. I love making sweet bread for brunch and having friends over for coffee… Don’t you? Are you looking for a different recipe to make? Try our other quick bread recipes.

I am telling you there are certain times of year you can pick up a crate of peaches for making all your favorite peach recipes. And that is just what I did! I picked up mine at Costco but, you can check farm stands or your local stores.

Notes

Baking tips:

Peaches needed for top of loaf may vary based on size of peaches (typically 1-2 will be enough)
You can substitute canned sliced peaches that have been drained (2 cups, reserving a few slices for top)
Be sure to check bread at the end of the baking time (15 minutes early) to check on the bread by sticking a tooth pick or clean knife to see if insides come out clean. If not continue to bake until done and it comes out clean.
Baking times vary based on altitude and oven. It may take longer or shorter.

If you don’t have fresh peaches? No worries you can substitute canned peaches that with the syrup drained. (Use 2 cups) or try this recipe or the recipe I adapted it from in the recipe card for peach bread, using canned peaches.
