Description
A simple quick bread featuring fresh peaches, cinnamon, and maple syrup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped fresh or frozen peaches (if frozen, do not thaw)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract until just combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the chopped peaches.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a crispier top, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of coarse sugar over the batter before baking.
- If using frozen peaches, gently toss them with 1 teaspoon of flour before adding them to the batter to prevent sinking.
