I know it’s not officially summer yet, but with Memorial Day just around the corner, I can’t help but dream of sitting outside on warm, summer nights, with lots of barbecues and get-togethers. Are you the same way, too?

While I’m not the grill-master in my house (that would be the hubster), I do like to create some easy and fresh side dishes and desserts to go along with a grilled burger or chicken. And since I’m in a dessert mood, I decided to grab my favorite summer produce: peaches!

But instead of a classic cobbler, pie, or crumble, I decided to whip up this Glazed Peach Streusel Bread. It’s a simple dessert that’s easy to transport to those barbecues and outings that are sure to take place in the summer.

Once you smell the decadent aroma and cut into this bread, you’ll be amazed at the moist texture and delicious flavor. The peaches provide the perfect amount of sweetness, while the crumble and glaze gives it the finishing touch. If you love anything with peaches, then this Glazed Peach Streusel Bread was made for you!

In addition to grabbing some fresh peaches for this bread, I also reached for my favorite vanilla extract from Nielsen-Massey.

Besides premium vanilla extracts, Nielsen-Massey also offers a variety of other extract flavors, pastes, powders, sugars, and whole beans. So whether you’re whipping up a sweet treat or savory dish, they’ve got a product for you.

Ingredients for Peach Bread 

This peach quick bread has three components: the quick bread itself, the streusel topping, and the vanilla glaze that’s drizzled on last. Here’s what you’ll need to make this recipe: 

  • All-purpose flour
  • Baking powder & baking soda
  • Ground cinnamon 
  • Salt
  • Unsalted butter
  • Light brown sugar
  • Granulated sugar
  • Eggs
  • Vanilla bean paste (or extract) 
  • Vanilla Greek yogurt
  • Peaches
  • Powdered sugar
  • Heavy cream

Should I Use Fresh or Frozen Peaches? 

Either will work. If you’re wondering what to do with those fresh peaches you picked up, try this recipe!

However, you can also use frozen peaches. Dice them up and add them to the batter frozen. Note that the bake time will need to be increased slightly.

How to Make Peach Bread 

Like most of my recipes, this sweet treat is a breeze to whip up! I modified this base of this bread from these banana muffins, which is a favorite of mine. 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.

  2. In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Slowly beat in the eggs, vanilla bean paste, and yogurt.

  3. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined. Gently fold in the diced peaches.

  4. Divide the batter between two 9×5-inch loaf pans. 

  5. To make the streusel topping, combine the brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, melted butter, and flour until thoroughly mixed together. Sprinkle over batter.

  6. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the bread comes out clean.

  7. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

When the bread has completely cooled, you’ll add the vanilla glaze and then get ready to dig in!

So, if you’re looking for the perfect dessert to jazz up those summer barbecues, this Glazed Peach Streusel Bread will be the hit of the season!

Can This Recipe Be Halved? 

This peach quick bread recipe makes two 9×5-inch loaves. You’re welcome to halve the recipe if preferred and make just one loaf. 

Can Peach Bread Be Frozen? 

Yes! You can freeze a loaf of peach streusel bread once it’s completely cooled off. Freeze the bread without the glaze on top! You can add that later. 

When you’re ready to eat the frozen bread loaf, place it on your counter to thaw.

Tips for Making Peach Quick Bread

  • I used two 9×5-inch loaf pans to make this recipe, but you may also use one loaf pan and a muffin pan (the extra batter will yield about 6 to 8 muffins). 
  • You may use fresh or frozen peaches to make this recipe. If using frozen, do not thaw them first. 
  • You’re welcome to substitute the peaches with other stone fruits, such as apricots, nectarines, or plums.
