Peach Quick Bread {or muffins!}

Today's recipe comes from one of our favorite bakers, Mina Pincus. She was kind enough to share this Peach quick bread recipe with us. This can also be made into muffins!

Peach Quick Bread

Makes 3 loaves (can also be made into muffins)

3 ½ cups flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons cinnamon

¼ teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

1 cup butter

1 cup sugar

2/3 cup brown sugar

4 eggs

¼ cup honey

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 cup milk

3 cups diced peaches

Topping

¾ cup quick oats

1 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons butter or margarine

Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.  Set aside.

Combine topping ingredients in a separate bowl and set aside.

Cream butter and sugars; add eggs one at a time mixing after each.  Add honey and vanilla and mix well.

Add flour mixture alternately with milk beginning and ending with dry ingredients.

Fold in diced peaches.  Pour into greased loaf pan and sprinkle topping mixture over the batter. 

Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.  (If baking muffins, bake for 18-20 minutes.) 

And viola!! You have delicious and easy peach bread!  {And I'll tell you a little secret...the soft peaches that are best for baking, are often much cheaper at the stand than the harder ones!} So let's get to baking everybody!
