Easy Southern Peach Bread

I still remember the first time I made this because it was hot—the kind of hot where you need a fan blowing in your face while baking since Georgia summers don’t play around. I had a few peaches sitting on I brought it from the market and they looked way too sad to eat fresh so I figured I might as well toss them into something sweet.

Spoiler alert: I burnt the edges yet weirdly, it still tasted amazing.
There’s just something special about Southern peach bread because it’s cozy and it’s a little crumbly while it’s also a little gooey in the middle if you’re lucky. It’s the kind of thing that makes your kitchen smell like warm hugs and Sunday mornings.

If you’ve never tried baking with fresh peaches then ohhh buddy—you’re in for a treat.You don’t need any fancy tricks here since it’s all about good ingredients along with that southern remembers.
