Ingredients
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced (about 2–3 peaches)
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in Peaches and Nuts: Gently fold in the diced peaches and chopped nuts (if using) into the batter.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve: Slice and serve your Southern Peach Bread either warm or at room temperature. Enjoy the delicious flavors of fresh peaches in every bite!
