We all know and love banana bread, but why limit ourselves to just one fruit? You are going to LOVE this peach bread recipe, and you can even make it right in your blender!
Yeah, that’s right. I made quick bread in a blender, and you can too! No, I didn’t BAKE it in the blender. I just mixed it up in there. You’ll still have to use your oven, I’m sorry to say. If you don’t have a blender, well, don’t worry. A spoon and bowl will work just as well, but I think you’ll love the smooth, fluffy texture you get from blending the batter.
How to Make Peach Bread
Making quick bread in your blender is SO easy! All you need to do is blend the wet ingredients. Add the dry, and blend again. Then, stir or blend in the walnuts depending on how chunky or smooth you want your batter.
If you need a blender, I like the Ninja kitchen systems. I have one with a blender, food processor, or single serve smoothie attachments, so I can do a lot with it. You can find it on Amazon here.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray loaf pan with cooking spray, and set aside.
Add drained peaches, oil, brown sugar, yogurt, eggs, and vanilla to a blender. Blend until smooth. (If you choose not to use a blender, chop the peaches to your desired size, and stir ingredients together with a spoon until combined.)
Add flour, oats, baking soda, and salt to the peach mixture, and blend (or stir) again until smooth.
Scrape sides of blender, add walnuts, and pulse until well combined. (Pulse longer for smaller pieces of nuts.)
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake in preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Allow to cool in pan 5-10 minutes, then transfer to cooling rack to cool before slicing.

I tried this recipe twice already and both times my bread came out mushy. Only to find out that I used baking powder instead of baking soda, jokes on me. I will have to give it a try again and remember to use the right ingredient

I’m all about peach season and using them as much as humanly possible! This bread recipe looks amazing! I love that you use canned peaches so this can be made all year long!

I’m crazy about peaches, and I would be so tempted to keep this all to myself! ;)

I’m not proud to say that I’ve eaten most of it myself because my kids aren’t home this week! Thanks, Dee :)

Do you think fresh peaches would be okay or would I need to increase the liquid?

Hi, Suzie! I definitely think fresh peaches will work as long as they are very ripe. Just cut and peel them, and I would guess you’d need about four good-sized peaches. I think the flavor will be delicious if you can use fresh!

Hi, Suzie! I think peeled fresh peaches will work great and will add even more flavor. I would use 4-5 good-sized, very ripe peaches. Thank you!

Thanks, we have a young peach tree bearing fruit. Can barely wait.

I’m jealous! We’ve never had luck growing fruit in our little San Francisco yard. Others around us do it with lemons and apples. We have one sad lime tree that I swear has been the same size the three years we’ve had it. It flowers a little but never produces fruit! We just go to the farmer’s market instead ;)

We never had any luck either until we bought this tree. It is a “Frost Peach” and doing well in NW WA.
