I don’t know about you, but I LOVE peaches. So refreshing, juicy, and make the best snack!
Last week, I picked up a few pounds of them at my local grocery store because they were on sale. I wasn’t sure what I planned on doing with them all, but nonetheless, I bought them.
My kids and I enjoyed one each day, but after a few days, I realized I overbought as my pile wasn’t really going down.
I planned on making a peach cobbler with it, but also decided to try making a quick bread using them. If banana bread can be such a hit, why not peach bread, right?
After only about 10 minutes, I had the batter ready to go into the pans and bake! The house smelled incredible and let me tell you, this bread is a SUCCESS!!
Not overly sweet, great texture, moist, and just the right amount of fresh peaches throughout!
We all enjoyed it warm from the oven, however, even the next day, it was great when we warmed it up again, but this time, added some butter!
This would be a great option to pair in the morning with coffee, or enjoy as a snack mid day. Even a great option for an evening treat!
Enjoy some now, freeze some for later, or give some away as gifts! However you choose to enjoy this Southern Peach Bread….it’ll be a favorite with everyone!

This was really good. I didn’t slather it with butter, and I should have. Next time I’m going to throw a streusel topping on top.
Kristin
Great idea on adding streusel! Glad you enjoyed!

angela carrera

It was good, I’d add more peaches and juice the next time I make it.
Kristin
Great idea too! I love peaches!
Brandy
what is the best way to store this peach bread? can it be left on the counter for a few days or is refrigerator better? Thank you
Kristin
We typically store ours in a storage bag or container at room temperature up to 4 days. If choosing to refrigerate, it will be good for up to 5 days, and then if frozen, up to 3 months. Enjoy!!

Just made this recipe, I had fresh very over ripe peaches, I took the seeds out and puréed the whole peach with the skin, the bread is very peach forward in taste. Wonderful recipe. Thank you for it.
Kristin
Yay!! Love hearing this!!!
Debbie
Thank you for mentioning this. I plan to make this tomorrow & will do what you did.
Kristin
Keep me posted what you think! Enjoy!
Marlene
I had made this about few months ago and had put it in the freezer. We just pulled it out of the freezer today and it froze well. The texture is more like a pound cake, very dense but ohhhh so yummy. I will definitely be making this one again. I just made one in a large loaf pan.
Kristin
Yay!! Love hearing this! My new fav is to toast a slice of this bread and add a scoop of vanilla ice-cream on top for an evening sweet treat!
Karen Maher
could I use a can of peaches in this recipe? it’s hard to find good peaches this time of year in my area.
Kristin
Absolutely! That works great! Simply drain and pat them dry a bit! Enjoy!
Joan
Great recipe and it’s very moist.
Kristin
Yay!! Glad to hear you enjoyed!
Janice
Joan do you use all purpose flour or self rising
Kristin
All-purpose flour is best in this recipe! Enjoy!
Janis
Made this today. Sooo good. I used frozen (thawed) peach slices, avocado oil, and cinnamon.
Kristin
Yay!! Glad you enjoyed! Great idea on the frozen peaches and other additions!
Tiffany
Delicious recipe! I used a can of spice cling peaches from del Monte, drained them really well, and dice them into cubes. They worked excellent. I also added one tsp of cinnamon to the recipe and that work as well. Thank you for the recipe it was delicious.
Kristin
Yay! So glad to hear you enjoyed! Love the addition of cinnamon, I will need to try that next time too!
Plácida Padilla
How ripe should your peaches be?
Kristin
As long as you can easily cut them, they will work great!
pat S doran
easy to make tastes great
Kristin
Yay! Glad you enjoyed!!
Jolene Stone
Can a person use almond flower?
Kristin
You should be able to do an even swap. Almond flour can be a bit more moist, so you may have to add a bit more almond flour than the all purpose calls for, but to start, I would do an even 1:1 ratio
Kathleen
Love this peach 🍑 bread! It’s not hard to make and not too sweet. I made it Sunday and again Tuesday. We had it for dessert and with coffee for breakfast. I’m planning to make it often.
Kristin
YAY!! Glad you’re enjoying it as much as I do!!
Charles
A Great Recipe! Thank You
Kristin
Yay! Glad you enjoy!
Patti Oleson
Can you use Stevia or other sweetener to lower the grams of sugar?
Kristin
Absolutely! That works great in this recipe!
Rebecca
Of you don’t have sour cream can you use plain yogurt
Kristin
Absolutely! That works great too!
Patricia
Can a person use canned peaches instead of fresh ones ?
Kristin
Absolutely! Try to eliminate as much of the liquid as you can, but canned works great too!
Cathy Klabunde
Mine did not look anything like the pic. I even made 2 batches. It had barely any peach flavor. Totally disappointed. I should have known … it was a Pinterest recipe!!!!
Kristin
Oh no! Such a bummer to hear as I have made this several times and its always a hit! Can you tell me what it looked like or what happened to it? So sorry to hear it was a disappointment! The peach flavor is mild in this as it has more of a pound cake taste with a slight hint of peach. To increase the peach flavor, you can add an additional 1/2 cup of diced peaches.
Joy
What kind of flour
Kristin
All purpose flour is used in this recipe! Enjoy!
Barb waterstraw
Could you use canned peaches if you didn’t have the fresh?
Kristin
Absolutely! That should work great! Just make sure it is one cup and try to eliminate any excess liquid so the bread doesn’t get too moist!
