For the Batter

  • 2 large Eggs Acts as a binder
  • 0.5 cup Sour Cream Plain yogurt can be used as a substitute
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Elevates flavor complexity
  • 1.5 cups All-Purpose Flour Forms the structure of the bread
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda Leavening agent

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your loaf pans with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced peaches, vegetable oil, sugar, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully blended.
  3. Sift in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pans, filling about two-thirds full.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes if using mini loaf pans, or 50-55 minutes for a large loaf. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
  6. Allow the bread to cool in the pans for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
