How to make peach quick bread
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Start by dicing your peaches. I left skin on the peach for easy preparation, but can can peel or blanch if desired. You can also used diced canned peaches that have been drained if peaches are not in season or you can find them locally.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until well combined. In a separate bowl, cream together the sugar, eggs, and vegetable oil.
Add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix well until batter forms. Then gently fold in diced peaches.
Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake at 350 for 35 minutes.
Remove this easy quick bread from the oven and let it cool. While it is cooling, start working on the glaze.
To make the glaze, combine powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until the powdered sugar has dissolved.
Brush or pour the glaze over the peach bread loaf. Slice and serve!
You can refrigerate any leftover peach loaf, though if your family is anything like mine, there won't be many leftovers.
I hope you enjoy this easy peach bread recipe. It goes wonderfully with a cup of coffee!

Frequently asked questions
I just work with a sharp paring knife, carefully removing the skin. If you think you'd rather not do that, you can always peel peaches easily by boiling them. Here is a good tutorial on how to peel peaches.
My general rule of thumb involves picking up a peach and squeezing it. If the peach has no give, it will not work in this recipe. If your fingers sink into the peach a bit, the peach is ripe enough for this recipe.
Yes, simply wrap in saran wrap and place in a zip top bag. You can freeze the bread for up to 3 months. Thaw it overnight in the refrigerator.
How to make meal planning easy
Have you tried meal planning? While I love the results of not having to worry what’s for dinner, it can be time consuming. But when you sign up for Eat At Home Meal Plans you get access to 4 separate meal plans each month (Traditional, Wholesome Traditional, Slow Cooker, and No Flour/No Sugar). Just print the plans, color-coded grocery lists, and recipes you want for the month. Don’t worry, with so many options, even picky eaters will find something they love.
When dinner time rolls around, make that night’s recipe (choices include make-ahead, freezer meals, slow-cooker recipes, and other time-saving strategies) and you are ready to go.
You are a busy mama and I know you have more important things to do than meal planning. Let someone else do it for you with Eat At Home Meal Plans. Monthly, quarterly and annual plans are available.
