Ingredients
– 1 stick (8 Tbsp) salted butter, melted
– ¾ cup brown sugar
– ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
– 3 large eggs
– 2 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 ½ cup whole-wheat or all-purpose flour
– 2 tsp baking powder
– 1 tsp salt
– 1 cup chopped fresh peaches
– 3 Tbsp peach jam (for the swirl)
– ½ cup brown sugar (for the cinnamon-crunch topping)
– 2 Tbsp whole-wheat or all-purpose flour (for the cinnamon-crunch topping)
– 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon (for the cinnamon-crunch topping)
– 2 Tbsp salted butter, cut into pieces (for the cinnamon-crunch topping)
Instructions
1-Preheat your oven: preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper for a smooth release. This step sets the stage for a perfect bake and keeps things simple for busy home cooks.
2-Mix wet ingredients: in a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is nice and smooth. This creates a creamy base that makes your bread extra moist.
3-Add dry ingredients: stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing just until combined to keep the texture light and fluffy.
4-Fold in peaches and prepare batter: fold in the chopped fresh peaches to add that juicy burst of flavor we all love. Transfer the batter to your prepared pan, then drop the peach jam over the top and swirl it through with a knife or spatula for a fun, marbled effect.
5-Prepare and add topping: combine the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and butter pieces; rub them together with your fingertips until they form coarse crumbs, then sprinkle evenly over the batter.
6-Bake: Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the top starts browning too fast, cover it loosely with foil to keep it even.
7-Cool and serve: Once done, let it cool in the pan for a bit before slicing and serving trust me, the wait is worth it for that warm, fresh taste!
Notes
🍑 Choose ripe, sweet peaches; skins may stay on for added texture, or peel if preferred.
🌿 For a softer crumb, stir half of the cinnamon‑crunch mixture into the batter before baking, reserving the rest for the topping.
❄️ Gluten‑free flour blends can replace the wheat flour 1:1 for a gluten‑free version of the loaf.
