Ingredients
- 1 cup peaches, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 3 mini loaf pans or 1 large loaf pan with non-stick spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine peaches, vegetable oil, sugar, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract.
- Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes for mini loaves or 50-55 minutes for a large loaf, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
Swap canned or frozen peaches for fresh when out of season. Replace sour cream with Greek yogurt or plain yogurt for a tangy variation. Store peach bread tightly wrapped at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. To freeze, wrap loaf slices individually. If bread is dense, check that your baking soda is fresh and avoid overmixing. Add chopped nuts for texture if desired.
