I’m a southern girl. Actually, I’m even a “Georgia Peach” technically (born and partially raised in Georgia), so summer must include a little bit of peaches. And what better place to find a peach recipe than Southern Living? A Spiced Peach Bread!
I will admit that this is not something you would want to have around the house every day. It’s one of those “special-little-treats-that-I-could-potentially-overeat-if-left-to-my-own-devices” kinds of food. The dietitian in me must encourage you to distribute evenly to everyone in the household to prevent weight gain!
Here’s the great thing, though. My oldest, W, is such.a.picky.eater. Ask anyone in our family (and probably most of our friends that have been around him at mealtime). We tried to force a peach down him one time with bribery and it didn’t work. Not even a brand spankin’ new Transformer did the trick.
But…he did LOVE this peach bread.
This bread also has carrots in it, which he still doesn’t know to this day. This particular loaf was made without pecans, which does save some calories.
I plan to make this soon with some substitutions that would make it even healthier…hopefully will still taste good.
This is the perfect time of year to try this recipe while there are ripe peaches in the store!
C loved it too and fussed for more…just like I did when it was gone!
