  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups diced peaches (fresh, frozen, or canned—drained)
  • ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Whisk flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl.

  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients gently until just mixed.
  5. Fold in diced peaches and nuts if using.

  7. Cool in the pan 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Notes

  1. Use ripe but firm peaches for best flavor.
  2. Do not overmix the batter to maintain a soft crumb.
  3. Store at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate up to a week.
