Why this recipe works

Quick breads are most popular in the fall. And as chance would have it, that’s when peach season is.

The combination of almonds and delicious peaches in this bread make for a wonderful breakfast or snack and can even pass for dessert. If you have lots of peaches you’d like to use up, see our deep dish peach pie or peach upside down cake recipe!

Baking Tips & FAQs

As with any quick bread, be sure you do not overmix the batter. Using a mixer for the first 6 ingredients is fine, but a sturdy rubber spatula or wooden spoon should be used to add in the dry ingredients.
