Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the vegetable oil, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Fold in the diced peaches and, if using, the chopped pecans or walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, tent it with aluminum foil halfway through baking.

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 the Georgia Peach Bread as-is or with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of glaze for extra sweetness.
