General Baking Tips:
Always measure dry ingredients with a dry measuring cup. Measure with dry measuring cups or weigh dry ingredients.
Always measure liquid ingredients with liquid measuring cup
Never break eggs directly into recipe ingredients. Break eggs into a separate bowl, in case you get any shells, so that you can pull them out.
Make sure that you know what temperature your oven is set at. Buy an oven thermometer and check oven temperature regularly.
Always check baked goods, like cakes or quick breads with cake tester, placed in center. If the tester comes out clean, it’s done.

I love all of those fresh peaches in this bread!
Thanks, Sandi! I have a plethora of peaches from 4 peach trees on our farm!
This peach bread looks so good Beth, I love that you made it with almond milk as my son is lactose intolerant. I checked Silk’s recipe, they look so good, gave me some ideas!
Thank you Patty! I’m so glad you liked it! There are so many great recipes in that list, aren’t there?
I just bought a bunch of peaches. I was going to make a cobbler, but maybe a quick bread is in order now.
It’s just as easy as a cobbler Maria! Lots of nuts, too! Thanks for your comment!

Thank you Jagruti! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Send me a picture, when you give it a try!
Thank you so much for this recipe. Excactly what i was looking for. This year Fraancecso is starting middle school at the same international school as Liam. 1 hr drive which means out by 7am. While the small local elementary scbool had a fantastic cantine, the large international middle and high school doesn t have a great food reputation so i am preparing to make lunch boxes every morning before the sun rise. A nightmare adding the fact that Francesco is dairy intolerant, this quick bread is perfect and i hope to find a Walmart close by the school so i can get a good supply of Silk Almond milk
Thank you so much for your comment, Laura! That is a very long way to drive to school! I hope this helps make your morning a bit easier!

This looks absolutely fabulous Beth! Something for hungry husbands to grab as they come in the door too ???? We’re dairy free as well so perfect for us!
