    • Reviews

  • “This is incredible. I get tired of banana bread so I wanted to fix something different. WOW!! This is moist and very peachy. Melted in our mouths. I took this to work and everyone raved about it and wanted the recipe. Thanks for another great recipe.”

  • “Made this to serve for breakfast. Oh how wonderful. This turned out so moist. I think the orange juice really inhanced the peach flavor. Very peachy. I served this warm and spread just a smidge of butter on each slice. YUMMY!!”

  • “Delicious, super-moist bread. I saw some people didn’t think it was peachy enough, so I mashed a very ripe peach and used the juice/pulp instead of the orange juice concentrate. I also added a streusel topping. The result was amazing!”

  • “I would give it a 4.5 when eaten warm!It wasn’t a wow factor but very very tasty!!!The only directions I was confused was do I use the mixer when alternating the peaches slices and dry ingredients?I did since it didn’t say stir in. However I saved a small peach to that I cut in big pieces to stir in. since a lot of reviews mentioned leaving bigger chunks.I made 6 muffins so the kiddos could eat sooner and I am still baking the loaf.I loved them!Thank you for a nice recipe!Oh and use all the cinnamon its a nice touch not too strong.”

  • “This peach bread is very good–nice flavor, moist.It is really good but for me it did not have the “wow factor” I reserve for 5 stars.”

  • “Very good! I used apricots from my tree.”

  • “This bread is a great use for fresh peaches. I made it this past weekend and have been slowly working my way through it. I like it buttered and toasted.”

  • “This is really good.I loved the cinnamon. When I make this again, I may slice the peaches thicker so that they will be noticed more, but it was really good.I frosted it with a cream cheese icing: 1/2 cup butter, 8 oz. cream cheese, 2 cups powder sugar and 1 tsp. vanilla. Yum!”

  • “I made this with half the cinnamon and I didn’t have orange juice concentrate – so I used 2 tablespoons of homemade seedless blackberry jam instead. I used 2 1/2 cups of chunks and slices of fresh peach, and the slices turned out really nice – like little pockets of peachy goodness.Next time I will use all slices.Overall, it turned out great, except that it was slightly overcooked when I baked for the time specified – next time I will take it out 5 minutes earlier.”

  • “We had this on Saturday night for company, the guys gave it 2 stars and us gals gave it 3.We just didn’t like the cinnamon in the bread, you couldn’t taste the peaches.The consistency was nice though, next time no cinnamon.”

  • “Very tasty and tender bread. I creamed my sugar and butter together and used a generous 2 cups of peaches, chopped rather than sliced. I needed to bake it about 70 minutes also to assure it was cooked through. What a great way to use seasonal delights!”

  • “*****”

  • “Good bread. I was looking for something different and this worked well. I found the bread kinda dry though. Maybe I’ll do something different next time. I wasn’t sure what you meant in step 1 with “cream butter,” does that mean stir?”

  • “Without the peaches, this is flavorless and dry. Unfortunately, it does not have enough peaches if you follow the recipe.”

  • “I used 1 tsp each baking soda and powder because I though1/2 tsp of soda wasn’t enough.I also used a bit less cinnamon because other reviews suggested it was overpowering.I think my hot oven over cooked this bread , I checked at 55 min but it is a little dry and over done.Kind of bland tasting I thought the orange concentrate would help more than it did to add flavor.Maybe I will try it again and cook it a shorter amount of time”

  • “Where are the peaches? I made this and used delicious fresh peaches but can’t taste them over the cinnamon. Very disappointed. Don’t know what I did wrong.”

  • “SO yummy- My family loved this.I tweaked it just a bit: for the flour I used half whole wheat, half white.I chopped some left over peaches and probably used more like 3 to 3 1/2 cups.Finally, I added a crumb topping (graham crumbs, brown sugar and dried oats) before popping it into the oven.Moist, flavorful and delicious!Thanks for sharing!”

  • “I’ve made this twice.Once with peaches and once with nectarines.Fantastic recipe!I total keeper.”

  • “Very good bread.I used 1/3 less sugar than that recommended, and the bread came out having a scone-like flavor.Also, I used regular OJ instead of frozen.”

  • “This is an easy and wonderful recipe. I’ve made it twice, swapping out some of the white sugar for brown, and it was just perfect. I will be freezing this to enjoy in the dreary winter months.”
