I was compensated by Nielsen-Massey Vanillas for my time in developing this recipe and post. All opinions are my own.

This Glazed Peach Bread is packed with juicy peaches and topped with a cinnamon crumble and sweet vanilla glaze. You’ll fall in love with the soft and fluffy texture and deliciously sweet flavor!

When I was little, I lived just a few blocks away from my grandparents’ house. I loved spending time with them and would often ride my bike to their house or just stop over for a visit whenever I felt like it. Their door was always unlocked and my grandparents always stopped whatever they were doing to spend time with me. I wouldn’t trade those memories for anything in the world.

Some of my favorite times would be the many barbecues and get-togethers that would take place at my grandparents’ house, just because. There wouldn’t have to be a special occasion or event in order to get together. My grandma would call my dad and his siblings and invite everyone over for a Saturday night dinner.

And that involved lots of laughs, sitting around the patio, and some delicious food. Those were the days!

Now that the weather is getting warmer, I’m officially in the mood for fresh fruits, veggies, and lots of meal-time grilling.

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. Have you tried their products yet? Nielsen-Massey has been making vanilla products for over a century, so it’s easy to see that their extracts and other flavors are made from quality ingredients.

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.

So, it was only natural that I used Nielsen-Massey’s Pure Vanilla Extract when making this Glazed Peach Bread.

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.

    This bread looks AMAZING, Gayle. I’m a streusel girl to begin with, and you added glaze and all the wonderful things. I think we’re on the same wavelength today too, because we both made fruit breads! Yay for summer fruit!

      We’re twinning today with our summer fruit breads! 🙂 I agree, streusel and glaze is pretty much the best combo! Thanks, Mir!

    I’m not the grill master in our household either…it’s definitely hubby. I do a little, but mostly focus on sides, like yourself. This bread looks absolutely AMAZING, Gayle! And that streusel topping? Yum! Love toppings like that on loaves and bread. Just the perfect finishing touch. I don’t recall making a bread with peaches in it, but what a deliciously wonderful idea! Pinning for trying soon 🙂

      Thank you for the sweet comment and pin, Dawn! I was kind of kicking myself that I didn’t think to make a peach bread earlier, since it’s one of my favorite summer fruits! And I’m so glad that I’m not the only one who doesn’t grill! 🙂

    This looks fantastic! Peaches are one of my favorite fruits and I’m always excited to try new recipes using them 🙂 I think the instructions are missing a step though – it doesn’t say when to incorporate the dry ingredients (I assume after the yogurt is mixed in?). Thanks!

      Hi Natalie! Thank you SO much for letting me know about the recipe instructions…I definitely missed adding that step in and just updated it! 🙂 Peaches are a favorite of mine, too. I hope you love this bread if you try it. And thank you for stopping by!

    I’m so ready for warmer nights with fires, s’mores, and a big mug of coffee while watching the fireflies. And you are so right about this bread. This would be great at a barbecue. That’s such a great idea for peaches. And I’m all about that topping!

    We didn’t live down the street from my grandparents, however, we drove an hour to be with them almost every weekend…those were some special times, indeed! I love the idea of incorporating peaches in this bread – you could have stopped with just the toppings and I would have been happy! 😉

    Those are such sweet memories you have with your grandparents. Mine live far away so I don’t see them but twice a year. Regardless, this bread looks amazing. I love how you made streusel into something new! Bring on summer!

    You know, when I read this I thought, “what is she talking about? Memorial Day is long over and we’re into July already!” Lol. Oh wait. That’s just in my editorial calendar! I so often forget what month we’re living in. Either way though, this peach bread looks incredible Gayle!

    It’s peach season, hurray! I made this with some fresh peaches…but I have one question. Your instructions say to fill the pan halfway and then top with streusel. I had a lot of batter left over after I filled my pan halfway. I used a 9 x 5 pan…not sure what to do with the rest of the batter. Make another loaf? It didn’t say it makes two loaves. Just wondering where I went wrong. Thanks!

      Hi Jules! Sorry about that! You can absolutely make another loaf, or make them into muffins, too. Hope you enjoy and thanks for stopping by!
