TIPS FOR MAKING MOIST CINNAMON PEACH BREAD
- Prep time: Preheat your oven and prepare your loaf pan. Spread butter over the base and sides of the pan and then sprinkle it with flour. Another option is lining the pan with parchment paper. Next, peel and slice the peaches and set them to the side.
- Bread batter: Add the eggs, oil, granulated sugar, and vanilla to a large mixing bowl. Whisk the wet ingredients together by hand until well blended. Sift together the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. It’s important to sift the dry ingredients before you add them to the mixing bowl. It will help make a lighter batter that combines more easily. Mix the wet and dry ingredients until just combined, but don’t over-mix. Fold the peaches into the batter to finish.
- Bake: Pour the Cinnamon Peach Bread batter into the prepared pan and bake for 55-60 minutes. When the bread looks done, use a toothpick to check. Stick the toothpick in the center of the bread, and if it comes out clean take the loaf from the oven. Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing.

VARIATIONS ON CINNAMON PEACH BREAD
- Fruit: You can add different fruits to this quick bread along with the peaches. Try mixing in some strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or pitted cherries.
- Streusel topping: You can make a brown sugar streusel topping for some extra texture and sweetness. Just use a pastry cutter to combine ½ cup brown sugar, ½ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup flour, 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon, ⅛ teaspoon salt, and ¼ cup cold butter in a bowl. Once it’s combined into coarse crumbs, sprinkle the topping over the bread before baking.
- Canned peaches: If you don’t have ripe peaches, you can use canned peaches in the recipe. Just make sure to drain them.
- Flour: Instead of white flour you can use wheat flour or whole-grain flour in your bread. You could also make the Cinnamon Peach Bread gluten-free with almond flour, oat flour, or coconut flour.

Love this recipe I’ve made it twice and once with splenda. But I do have a question.. Why after it starts to cool the middle seems to disinflate or crash inwards? Am I doing something wrong?
Hello Francisca, sometimes shrinkage can happen when there is too much liquid. That liquid then steams out and collapsing can happen.
I am sure this is very good but I would like to know if frozen peaches can be used have lots. Thank You
Sure they can. Just make sure for the peaches to thaw a bit before baking.
I’m lost where does it say anything in the recipe about canned peaches? So can we use them canned or no?
If you read the blog post I include “Canned peaches: If you don’t have ripe peaches, you can use canned peaches in the recipe. Just make sure to drain them.” Its just a preference for some people. I usually include variations like this in all the blog pages just in case. Enjoy!
Would frozen peaches be a viable option instead of drained canned ones, as I always have some on hand for smoothies and such. Would I need to let them thaw out first?
They might work but you get a lot of flavor from the canned syrup.
Hello Sabrina,
I tried this recipe yesterday but used apples instead of peaches. It turned out to be delish.
Thank you.
Much love,
Ann Lydia Gomez
Thank you Ann!
