Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup milk
• 2 cups fresh peaches (peeled, pitted, and diced)
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk, and whisk until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the diced peaches and chopped nuts (if using) with a spatula, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with the back of a spoon or spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve slices warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
