Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/3 cups buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups diced peaches
  • 1/2 cup quick oats
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar (streusel)
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (streusel)
  • 4 tbsp cold butter (streusel)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray loaf pans with non-stick spray.
  2. Mix Dry: In a bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. Combine Wet: In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, oil, eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla.
  4. Batter Assembly: Pour wet ingredients into dry. Mix until combined. Fold in diced peaches.
  5. Layer Base: Divide batter among pans. Add sliced peaches on top.
  6. Make Streusel: Whisk oats, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter until crumbly.
  7. Bake: Spread streusel over batter. Bake 30 minutes until golden and toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

Swap peaches for nectarines or add a maple glaze (1/2 cup powdered sugar + 1 tbsp maple syrup). For lighter texture, use cake flour. Store in an airtight container up to 3 days. Avoid overmixing to maintain tender crumb.
