Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Southern Peach Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your loaf pans with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine peaches, vegetable oil, sugar, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Sift in flour, baking soda, and salt into the wet mixture. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pans and smooth the top. If desired, sprinkle with nuts or a crumb topping.
  5. Bake mini loafs for 25-30 minutes or a large loaf for 50-55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
