Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are acceptable.
- Gently fold in the floured blueberries and the diced peaches until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan. Optionally, sprinkle the top with a tablespoon of coarse sugar for a crunchy crust.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts browning too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
For best flavor, use ripe, fresh peaches. This bread stores well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
