Ingredients

It doesn’t take much to make a loaf (or two!) of this peach bread. As stated above, you can use fresh or frozen peaches, but if you plan on using frozen, be sure to defrost them before folding them into the batter. The measurements are in the recipe card below, but first, check what you need:

• Peaches: fresh or frozen. If using frozen, thaw them first.
• Flour: adds structure. Use regular or your favorite 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose flour. 
• Baking powder: raises the batter and gives this bread a fluffy texture. 
• Salt: enhances all the flavors.
• Plain yogurt: for a super moist texture.
• Sugar: adds sweetness.
• Eggs: help to bind all the ingredients.
• Orange zest: optional for extra flavor.
• Vanilla extract: a classic taste when baking!
• Coconut oil: melted butter also works.

How to Make Peach Bread

Grab your mixing bowls and whisks so we can make this delicious quick peach bread. Here’s how:

1. Prepare
   First, you preheat the oven to 350 F and grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan, dust with flour, and tap out excess. You can also use a loaf pan lined with parchment paper.
2. Dust
   Not talking about the house! In a small bowl, you mix diced peaches with 1 tablespoon of flour. Toss them around until they are all evenly coated. This helps prevent peaches from sinking to the bottom while baking.
3. Combine dry ingredients
   In a medium bowl, you whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. Combine the wet ingredients
   In a large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, mix yogurt, sugar, eggs, orange zest, vanilla, and coconut oil until combined.
5. Add them together
   Working in batches, add the flour mix to the wet, making sure to stir until just combined after each addition.
6. Pour and Bake
   Add the batter into the pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
7. Cool off and grab a slice
   Let peach bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before removing from the pan. Pour yourself a cup of coffee or tea, grab a slice and enjoy!

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups peaches, diced fresh or frozen
• 1 ½ cups + 1 tablespoon all purpose flour, divided
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons orange zest from 1 large orange, optional
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup melted coconut oil

Instructions

Prepare:

• Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C). Grease a 9×5" loaf pan, dust with flour, and tap out excess. Alternatively, you can line loaf pan with parchment paper.

Make the batter:

• In a small bowl, mix diced peaches with 1 tablespoon of flour. Using your hands, toss them around until they are all evenly coated with flour. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the pan when baking.

• In a large bowl, or the bowl of your stand mixer, mix yogurt, sugar, eggs, orange zest, vanilla, and coconut oil on low speed until all items are thoroughly combined.
• Slowly add the flour mix to the wet, making sure there are no clumps but careful that you don’t over mix. Gently fold flour-coated peaches into the batter.

Bake:

• Pour the batter into the pan and bake 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
• Let bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before removing from pan.
