Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (300g) fresh peaches, peeled and diced into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1 tbsp (8g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp (1g) ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp (5ml) lemon juice
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 1 large (50g) egg
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl, combine diced peaches, lemon juice, 1 tbsp sugar, and cinnamon. Stir gently until coated and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt until no large clumps remain.
  3. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Using a spatula, stir the mixture until just combined; stop as soon as flour streaks disappear.
  5. Gently fold in the cinnamon-coated peaches without over-stirring.
  6. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper, pour in the batter, and smooth the top.
  7. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread rest in the pan for 10 minutes before removing.
