Peach season is my favorite. We have a local orchard nearby that has some bomb diggity peaches and we can’t get enough of them. I love making this healthy peach cobbler bread, it’s the best peach bread recipe and my kids love it! Making your own bread is a game changer for flavor and health.
This recipe makes 4 loaves. I love to bake and cook in bulk because you have to make the mess, you can make one loaf or 4 and the clean-up is the same. It’s a great time saver.
I love making quick breads for my kids for breakfast and snack. I used to make muffins, but making bread makes it a ton faster and I love saving time in the kitchen.
Peach cobbler bread
This best peach bread recipe is different because it has a cobbler-like topping or streusel on top. We love to get a bushel of peaches at our local orchard and eat as many as we can and then cut up the rest for the freezer. Then we can taste summertime throughout the year!
Peach puree bread recipe
This recipe is a favorite of ours now and we make it every time we get peaches. It freezes great, and you can just pop it out of the freezer and heat it up and serve. It’s super great to have food on hand to feed a crowd or some unexpected company. This peach bread would make a wonderful gift as well.
Not only does this peach bread recipe contain yummy peaches, but it’s also even healthier because it has the added nutrients and fiber of pumpkin puree. We make our own after Halloween and freeze it in one cup packages so we have it to add nutrients to recipes whenever we need it.
It also has the extra fiber of whole wheat flour. You can make it with all white flour if you prefer, but we like to get as many whole grains as we can, and with this blend, it qualifies as a whole grain component on the food program.

This sounds great! Would love to try but I am a bit confuse.
You recommend mixing in the flour mixture then later state mixing the remaining oats, flour, sugar, butter chunks and salt in a bowl. Did I miss read the recipe? Where is the measurements for the strudel part of the recipe?
Hi Ann, Thank you for pointing that out. I added some headings in the ingredients to make it more clear. I hope that helps. Enjoy!
This Peach Bread sounds delicious! We have a peach tree loaded with peaches in the front yard and I was so looking forward to making boat loads of peachy concoctions. Unfortunately, all of the peaches have lots of worms inside of them! I’m so bummed. We tried spraying the tree this year with an organic spray and although they look pretty the spray did not deter the worms from enjoying our peaches. Yuck!
Ah, stink. That’s the worst. We don’t have good luck growing our own either. 🙁 maybe dormant spray in february and april would help?
