Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups whole milk ricotta cheese
• 1.5 cups fresh peaches, diced
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease six mini loaf pans with nonstick spray or butter.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the granulated sugar and softened butter together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract, followed by the ricotta cheese, mixing until smooth.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Gently fold in the diced peaches, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared mini loaf pans, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 9

Place the mini loaf pans on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the pans from the oven and let the loaves cool for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

If desired, dust the tops of the mini loaves with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
