Peach Bread

This is a fun game of "what can I make with canned goods." Todays bake was peach bread. From the recipe I was meant to use sliced peaches but they weren't available at the store so, I did diced and just drained them (saving the juice for a smoothie). Honestly, not peachy enough for me so I may have to try this one again sometime. I may add in the peach juice next time to see if that enhances it.

Recipe here
Makes 1 loaf

Ingredients:
2 cans sliced peaches drained (I used 4 small plastic containers of diced peaches)
4 ounces butter (e.g. 1 stick) melted
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
garnish: cinnamon sugar (for topping)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 and grease loaf pan.
2. Save 1 plastic container (or 10-12 peach slices) for the garnish. Process the remaining slices until almost pureed (e.g. 1 cup or a bit more)
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine peaches, butter, eggs, and vanilla until well blended.
4. Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
5. Add flour mixture to first mixture until blended.
6. Pour batter into greased loaf pan.
7. Add remaining peaches over top (for slices: slice lengthwise into two thinner slices and arrange them overlapping on top of the batter). Sprinkle with a little cinnamon sugar.
8. Bake in oven 55-60 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
9. Cool in pan on rack for approx 15 minutes
10. Remove from pan to cool completely.
11. Enjoy!
