Peaches are in season and I have been enjoying snacking on them. I was thinking that a peach bread would make for a nice breakfast this week. I was envisioning a bread with nice large chunks of peaches in it. I had really enjoyed the blueberry maple oatmeal muffins with pecan streusel and I thought that the recipe would make for a nice bread. I pretty much just took the blueberry muffin recipe and replaced the blueberries with peaches and made it in a loaf pan instead of a muffin pan. The peach bread turned out really well. It was nice and light and moist and full of peach goodness. I tried serving the peach bread with a maple peach sauce.

The peach bread sounds like a wonderful idea! I like those huge chunks of peaches you added instead of miniture pieces that would disappear into the loaf. I’d like to make that, but peaches never last that long in my house.. we live off peaches!
Smart idea! Looks great!
Them is a lotta ingredients…but it looks so worth it! Good job again!

I've used several recipes from your sight and usually really love them! Thanks! I tried this and the taste was terrific, but it was too moist in the middle. I even wrapped it in foil and baked it again. Have any suggestions?
I didn't like it. I found it heavy and dry. I made my own version with is much better.
UCLA Scientist: Odd, it should be nice and light and moist! Did you make any changes?
