Notes
Toss the diced peaches in flour to keep them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf.
Don't overmix the batter. Mix the batter only until the ingredients are combined. This will help make the best peach bread and keep it fluffy and moist.
Grease your pan well to prevent sticking, especially when using fresh fruit in a bread recipe. Or, line it with parchment paper.
Allow the peach quick bread to cool completely before slicing. The resting time helps the bread to set properly and gives cleaner slices.
If your bread starts browning too quickly, tent it loosely with foil.
Fresh ripe peaches will give you the best flavor. But you can use frozen or canned peaches. Please drain them well, as you don't want excess moisture, which can make the texture gummy.
