Ingredients
Dry ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
Wet ingredients:
- ½ cup (120ml) neutral oil (like canola, sunflower, or melted coconut)
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar or coconut sugar
- ½ cup (120g) unsweetened applesauce (acts as egg replacer)
- ½ cup (120g) non-dairy yogurt or plant milk (soy, almond, oat, etc.)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (about 2 medium) diced fresh or canned peaches (drained if canned)
Optional glaze:
- ½ cup (60g) powdered sugar
- 1–2 tbsp peach juice or plant milk
- Splash of vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Prep peaches:
- Peel and dice fresh peaches, or drain canned ones. Pat dry to remove excess moisture.
- Mix dry ingredients in a medium bowl: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Whisk wet ingredients in a large bowl: oil, sugar, applesauce, plant yogurt/milk, and vanilla.
- Combine wet and dry:
- Add the dry ingredients into the wet. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix.
- Fold in peaches gently with a spatula.
- Pour into loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Check at 45 mins; tent with foil if browning too much.
- Cool in pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional Glaze
Whisk powdered sugar with plant milk or peach juice and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled loaf.
