How to Make Peach Bread

This peach loaf doesn’t last long in my house! It comes out of the oven smelling like summer, and my kids are hovering by the counter before I even have the glaze finished. If you’re on a peach kick, my peach cobbler or peach smoothie should be next!

Peach Loaf

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: Preheat the oven to 350ºF, then spray a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and line it with parchment paper. In a large bowl, add sugar, oil, eggs, sour cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.
  2. Whisk Dry Ingredients and Combine: In a small bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  3. Add Peaches: Gently fold in chopped peaches.
  4. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, let the peach loaf cool for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Peach Glaze

  1. Whisk: To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, peach syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Drizzle: Pour the glaze evenly over the loaf. Let the glaze set before cutting into slices

What Pan to Use

  • One Loaf: Use a 9-x-5-inch loaf pan.
  • Two Smaller Loaves: Divide between two 8 x 4½-inch loaf pans.
  • Muffins: 12 muffins bake for 15–20 minutes.

Must-Have Tools For This Recipe

  • Loaf Pan: A light-colored aluminum loaf pan bakes most evenly. If using a glass or dark metal pan, reduce the temperature to 325°F and bake for 5–10 minutes longer.
  • Mixing Bowls: One for the batter and a small bowl for mixing the dry ingredients and the glaze.
  • Whisk: Combines the wet ingredients and mixes the glaze.
