Making this peach cobbler bread recipe is a fun twist on a late-summer staple – it combines all the best parts of cobbler into a moist, rich dessert.
Before pumpkin season swoops in and starts stealing the show with its pumpkin spice everything, I am doing my best to relish peach season while there is still time for summer desserts. I want to make as many fruit desserts as I can before it’s over!
For me, at the end of a warm summer day there is nothing more wonderful than a bowl of cobbler made from fresh local peaches. I had so many extra this year that I had to reimagine my cobbler ideas to make them new.
I made this peach bread for late summer, but there’s no reason you couldn’t make it all year. I’m planning on making it for spring and even as an Easter dessert. It’s so versatile!
I love this recipe so much. It’s so full of warm peach flavor with the perfect amount of sweetness from the glaze. Plus, the crumble on top gives it the perfect cobbler taste.
Are you ready to make this peach cobbler bread? Once you make it – it’s going to be a go-to recipe. You’ll be pickin’ peaches, trust me.
And just so you know, the best peaches are picked between April and October (generally speaking, but it does depend on the area). So what are you waiting for?

Peach Cobbler Bread
Ingredients
For the Crumb Topping
- 3 T unsalted butter melted
- 2 T granulated sugar
- 2 T brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 peach medium, diced
For the Bread
- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 5 T unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 egg(s) room temperature
- ½ cup milk
- ½ T almond extract or vanilla
- 2 medium peaches diced into small pieces
For the Glaze
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 T milk
Instructions
For the Crumb Topping
- In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir until well combined. Fold in diced peach.
- Add the flour and stir until mixture is well combined. Set aside.
For the Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Stir until well combined. Set aside.
- In a large bowl on a stand mixer, cream together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes on medium speed).
- Add the eggs to the mixing bowl one at a time, combining into the batter after each addition.
- Add the milk and vanilla; stir until fully combined.
- Add the flour mixture slowly, mixing as you go. Mix ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in the diced peaches until just combined.
- Transfer batter into the greased loaf pan.
- Using your fingers, crumble the Crumb Topping into pieces about the size of blueberries. Sprinkle Crumb Topping evenly over the top of the batter, and press gently into the batter.
- Bake at 350°F for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Check the bread after about 35 minutes and tent the top with a piece of aluminum foil if it is getting too dark.
- Allow loaf to cool for 20 minutes; transfer loaf onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
For the Glaze
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
- Once the bread has fully cooled, drizzle glaze over the top of the bread.
Notes
- You can use one large peach instead of two medium peaches for this recipe.
- It's possible to make this recipe with gluten free flour, just verify that all of your other ingredients are gluten free as well.
