How was your 4th of July weekend? I hope you had loads of fun with family and friends.
G and I just got back from a 4-day trip to Las Vegas but although we had a blast, I just wished we chose a better time to visit Sin City than right smack of summer. Walking down Freemont Street was like sitting in an oven to roast!

After 4 days of sweltering triple-digit temperatures, I went home more appreciative of our Southern California weather. No more whining here about a little heat. In fact, I even turned on our oven this afternoon to bake this peach bread loaf.
This peach bread is an adaptation of the mango bread loaf I have on my other blog. It’s my go-to recipe for quick bread and I just love how customizable it is. With a simple swap of fresh peaches for mangoes and walnuts for raisins, I get to enjoy a whole new set of flavors.
Prefer strawberries or blueberries? Go ahead, this recipe is a terrific base for your favorite fruits and nuts. And if you want to take the decadence up a notch, sprinkle the top with a streusel topping before baking. That extra layer of sweetness and crunch truly takes it to a whole new level of yum.
Other than being super adaptable, this peach bread is so easy to make as well. It’s all a matter of stirring the ingredients together, there’s no need for a mixer.
↑ See how soft and moist the loaf is? It’s so tender, fragrant, and loaded with peach and warm cinnamon flavors, you’ll want a slice breakfast, lunch, dinner and anytime in between!
It’s so easy to whip up a batch, this peach bread loaf is perfect to bring to potlucks or to give out as homemade gifts. Just wrap snugly in cling or cellophane wrap, put a colorful bow on top, and you’ll be everyone’s hero(ine) in a snap.
If you’re serving for a crowd, you can bake the mixture in muffin tins instead of a loaf pan for less mess on the buffet line. Either way you bake it, it’s sure to impress.

I made a a double batch. My boys liked it but they said it wasn’t peachy enough? So my next batch I used less cinnamon, added ginger and vanilla and did not drain the peaches. Now it is a five star in my household! Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback, Trina! I am glad the family loved it. I will definitely try the spices you used when I make this again.
It’s been almost a year since this recipe was posted, but the instructions still refer to mangoes and raisins – at least on my screen.
Good peaches are difficult to find where I am. I used to be able to find Georgia peaches at my local Meijer, though not in the past few years. Peaches from California are bad, probably because they are picked before they ripen, then chilled for shipping. Would it be feasible to try this recipe with canned peaches?
I am so embarrassed! This peach bread is based on my mango bread recipe and I got confused while I was writing the post. Thank you so much for bringing it to my attention, recipe corrected. 🙂
Yes, you can use canned peaches.
It looks delicious. I see that it takes just 1 hour 10 minutes to make. I thought it takes longer than that.
Its done in no time although I find it hard to wait’til I can eat it with all that smell lingering around as it cooks. 🙂
I tasted this. This is very much mouth watering dish. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
You’re welcome. Thanks too!
Never heard of peach bread. I’ll have to check it out!
You have to try it Sydney! This is so good.
I love fruit breads, Banana is my favourite fruit to use in bread loaf. Peach does sound great, will give it a try sooner.

Banana bread loaf is my favourite. Peach does sound great. Will give it a try soon. This looks lovely.
Please give it a try, it’s delicious!
Oh wow. That looks like a really delicious and moist loaf! I love that you made it with peaches, one of my favorite fruits. I’d try to make one with strawberries and give it to my mom. Strawberries are her favorite.
The loaf will be just as awesome with strawberries 🙂
Thanks! So gonna try it this weekend.

Woow! This recipe looks amazing! I think I might try it with strawberries or blueberries.
Great choice 🙂
