Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-Ins:
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or canned peaches, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
- Add Peaches and Nuts: Fold in the diced peaches and nuts if using.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh peaches with well-drained canned or frozen peaches.
- For extra sweetness, drizzle with a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk once cooled.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
