Glazed Peach Bread
Can you believe it’s already August? I can’t…this summer is going by way too fast! We have been so busy lately; that last weekend was the first weekend I went to a farmer’s market this summer, I know super depressing. As I was walking around looking at all the delicious vegetables, flowers, and homemade jams that were on display, I noticed a tent with four huge baskets of fresh peaches… JACKPOT!
I couldn’t wait to get home to start making my glazed peach bread, which is one of my all-time favorite summer quick bread recipes. It is so moist and delicious; it’s the perfect bread along side a cup of coffee or even a refreshing summer dessert. If you have fresh peaches on hand, you need to try this bread. I know your going to love it as much as I do. Enjoy!
Step-by-step on how to make this Glazed Peach Bread:
Glazed Peach Bread
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup butter, softened, 1 stick
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups peeled, chopped peaches (4 peaches*)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray a 9x5 inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a medium sized bowl, using an electric or stand mixer, beat together the butter, sugars, and vanilla extract. Add one egg at a time, mixing between each egg. Beat in heavy whipping cream. Pour wet mixture into dry mixture, using a spatula to mix until just combined. DO NOT OVERMIX. Fold in peaches. Pour bread batter into prepared pan.
- Bake for 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before glazing with vanilla glaze and slicing.
To make vanilla glaze:
- In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, heavy whipping cream, and vanilla extract together until a light, creamy glaze forms. Drizzle on top of cooled bread right before you are ready to serve.
Notes
- You could use unthawed frozen peaches.
