Easy Peach Bread Recipe with Peach Glaze
The last of our peaches have been picked and I have spent a lot of time in the kitchen using peaches in every recipe I can imagine. One I am super proud of is this amazing peach bread recipe. I have tried many different recipes and none really hit the mark for me, so I adjusted and changed things until it was a just right.
The flavor of this peach bread recipe is unmatched. I like to add a pinch of cinnamon to the recipe. Peaches and cinnamon go so well together, but you don’t want it to overpower the bread, just enough to accentuate the peach flavor.

The total time it takes to make this peach bread recipe is just over 1 hour. With the cook time being 50-60 minutes, and mixing it takes about 10 minutes.
YOu can either add a glaze to this bread or leave it unglazed like the image below. But, the glaze is amazing on it so I would recommend it!

Easy Peach Bread Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup milk
- 3/4 cup canola oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- dash salt
- 2 cup fresh peaches peeled and diced
Peach Glaze Topping
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/3 cup finely diced peaches peeled and drained
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl mix together your wet ingredients. Start with your oil and sugar until creamed together. You can use a stand mixer, hand mixer, or mix this by hand(that is what I do)/
- Add your eggs and vanilla and continue to mix. Once combined, add your milk and mix.
- Next add your dry ingredients: your salt, baking powder, flour and stir til just combined.
- Last add your diced peaches and fold them into the batter.
- Grease 2 8 by 4 bread pans. You can use the larger ones too but the bread wont be as tall.
- Pour half the batter into one pan and the other half into the other. You can add some thinly sliced peaches to the top of the batter to make a pretty design or presentation. Totally optional.
- Bake on the center rack in the oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool for about 20 minutes on a wire rack before removing them from the loaf pans (if you want to take them out) You can also serve it in the pan.
- Once the bread has cooled completely its time to top it with the glaze.
- Whisk together the melted butter, milk, powdered sugar, vanilla and peaches in a small bowl. Drizzle the glaze over the entire top of the bread and let it set up. Slice and enjoy!
- Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container.

Tips & Tricks
- You can use fresh peaches or frozen peaches. I have not noticed a difference between letting them thaw and adding them frozen.
- You can line the bread pans with parchment paper if you are worried about the bread sticking to your pans.
- Chop your peaches into bite-sized pieces so they distribute throughout the bread evenly.
- Let the bread cool completely before adding the glaze. Otherwise it will melt off the side.
- If you like almond extract you can add a 1/8 tsp almond extract to the bread recipe. I am not a fan of almond extract so I do not add this.
