Ingredients
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1/2 cup of vegetable oil or melted butter
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 cup of fresh peaches, diced
- 1/2 cup of sour cream or Greek yogurt
- Additional cinnamon sugar for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray. Gather your ingredients and make sure your peaches are diced small for even distribution in the batter.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. This ensures an even distribution of spices and leavening agents for a fluffy, moist cinnamon bread.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the vegetable oil (or melted butter), vanilla extract, and sour cream. Mix well until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently to combine. Fold in the diced peaches so they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Optional: sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top for extra flavor and crunch. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For a consistently moist cinnamon bread, do not overmix the batter. Ensure peaches are fresh and diced small, which enhances moistness and flavor. Using sour cream or Greek yogurt adds richness and tenderness to the bread. To prevent dryness, store your bread in an airtight container and consume within a few days or freeze for longer storage.
