Print Recipe

This Southern Peach Bread brings back memories of my aunt’s farmhouse kitchen, where the scent of ripe peaches baking in the oven meant something special was on the way. Warm, moist, and full of fruity goodness, this bread is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon treat with a cup of coffee. Make a loaf, share a slice, and enjoy a sweet taste of Southern comfort.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups peeled, diced fresh peaches

  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
