Introduction

Easy Peach Bread Recipe is one of the easiest and most delicious sweet breads you can make at home. With simple steps and readily available ingredients, you’ll get a soft loaf filled with fresh peach chunks—perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack. This quick recipe takes no more than 10 minutes to prepare and 50 minutes to bake, resulting in homemade bread with an irresistible aroma.

It all started one sunny Sunday morning at our little country church. After service, we had our usual potluck in the fellowship hall, with tables lined up and covered in every dish imaginable — casseroles, fried chicken, homemade pies… and then there it was.
A humble loaf sitting in the middle of the dessert table, dusted with sugar, its golden top cracked just enough to hint at the creamy, fruity goodness inside.

Curiosity got the best of me, so I cut a slice. The moment I bit into it, I knew this was no ordinary bread. Soft, moist, bursting with chunks of juicy peaches, and swirled with a sweet cream layer that melted in my mouth — it was pure heaven.

The sweet lady who made it smiled and told me, “It’s my peaches & cream loaf. Simple, but it always disappears first.” Well, she wasn’t wrong. By the time I went back for seconds, the platter was empty.

That’s when I knew I had to recreate it — and maybe add my own little twist. Today, I’m sharing with you my perfected version of this Easy Peach Bread Recipe that’s not only insanely delicious but also easy enough for beginner bakers. If you’ve got fresh or canned peaches on hand, you’re halfway there.

Ingredients for Easy Peach Bread Recipe

You’ll need simple pantry ingredients and, of course, ripe peaches. The cream cheese swirl takes it from “just bread” to “WOW, who made this?”

For the Bread:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ tsp cinnamon (optional, but lovely with peaches)
2 large eggs
½ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter for richer flavor)
½ cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups diced fresh peaches (or well-drained canned peaches)

For the Cream Cheese Swirl:

8 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
Make the cream cheese mixture: In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.
Mix the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Mix the wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk eggs, oil, sour cream, and vanilla until well combined.
Combine: Add the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in the diced peaches.
Layer the batter: Pour half of the bread batter into the loaf pan. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on top. Add the remaining bread batter over the cream cheese layer, smoothing the top.
Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool & serve: Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips & Variations

Peaches: Fresh peaches give the best flavor, but canned or frozen work too — just drain them well.
Spice it up: A pinch of nutmeg or ginger adds warmth.
Glaze it: Drizzle with a powdered sugar glaze for extra sweetness.
Make it mini: Divide batter into mini loaf pans and reduce baking time to 25–30 minutes.
Texture boost: Sprinkle the top with coarse sugar before baking for a crunchy crust.

Why This is the Best Easy Peach Bread Recipe

This isn’t just a fruit bread — it’s a combination of moist peach cake and rich cheesecake, all in one bite. The cream cheese swirl keeps every slice tender, while the peaches release their juices as they bake, creating little pockets of sweetness.

Unlike some quick breads that can be dry the next day, this one stays moist for days — perfect for making ahead. It’s also incredibly versatile; serve it for breakfast, brunch, dessert, or even as an afternoon snack with tea.

Breakfast treat: Toast a slice and add a pat of butter.
