Cinnamon Peach Bread

Introduction

Cinnamon Peach Bread is a show-stopping treat that delivers the warmth of cinnamon swirls and the juicy sweetness of ripe peaches in every bite. This quick bread is an irresistible crowd-pleaser—perfect for summer brunches, snack time, or as a fragrant homemade gift. With minimal prep and no yeast, it’s a recipe that brings comfort and big flavor without fuss.

The Cozy Charm of Cinnamon Peach Bread

What sets this bread apart is its combination of tender, moist crumb and bursts of peach flavor, complemented by ribbons of cinnamon sugar. The interplay between the soft, aromatic bread and the pops of fruit makes this loaf a hit for all palates—great toasted for breakfast or as an anytime snack.

Prepping Peaches for Maximum Flavor

For a recipe as peach-forward as this one, uniform slicing is key. Use a tool like the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper for quick, even peach chunks—or dice easily with a quality Bamboo Cutting Board set to keep prep neat and fast. If fresh peaches aren’t in season, well-drained canned or frozen peaches work beautifully.

Baking and Lining the Perfect Loaf

A well-lined loaf pan is the secret to bread that releases effortlessly. Use a sheet of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll to ensure the Cinnamon Peach Bread pops out cleanly, with no sticking or crumbling. This prevents overbaking the edges and gives you picture-perfect slices.

Serving and Storing Cinnamon Peach Bread

Serve thick slices warm with a pat of butter, or chill and cube them for a fruity brunch trifle. The loaf stays moist for several days if stored in an airtight container, like the Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, making it easy to enjoy fresh flavor all week.

Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
1 1/2 cups fresh peaches (peeled and diced)
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for swirl)
Optional: coarse sugar for topping

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with a piece of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll for easy removal.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated sugar using a sturdy hand mixer or a Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender (on low for mixing) until light and fluffy.
4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Blend in vanilla extract and sour cream (or Greek yogurt) until smooth.
5. Mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; do not overmix. Gently fold in diced peaches using a spatula or the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet for a controlled transfer if peaches are sticky.
6. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon for the swirl.
7. Pour half the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle half the cinnamon sugar swirl. Add remaining batter and top with the rest of the cinnamon sugar swirl. Swirl gently with a knife for a marbled effect.
8. Sprinkle optional coarse sugar on top.
9. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift out using the parchment paper and cool completely on a wire rack.
10. For perfect slices, store any leftovers in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers.
