Ingredients
- 1 can peaches drained, (14-oz/400-gram), see note 1
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (280 grams), see note 2
- 4 teaspoons baking powder (12 grams)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (220 grams)
- 3 eggs , large, at room temperature
- ½ cup unsweetened Greek yogurt (120 grams), see note 3
- ¼ cup olive oil (50 milliliters), see note 4
- 1 lemon , zest only
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit/180 Celsius.
- Drain the peaches, cut them into small pieces and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder and sugar using a wooden spoon.
- To this, add beaten eggs, Greek yogurt and olive oil. Stir until well combined. Lastly, stir in peaches and lemon zest.
- Pour the batter in a 9.5 x 5-inch/24.5 x 11-centimeter loaf pan lined with baking parchment paper.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350 Fahrenheit/180 Celsius for 50 minutes, then reduce to 320 Fahrenheit/160 Celsius and bake for a further 10 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes out clean.
- When ready, take out and transfer onto a cooling rack.
- Enjoy as is or with butter, jam or honey.
Notes
- Peaches: You will need 1 small can – 14-ounce/400-gram in weight. When drained, the peaches will weigh about 8.5 ounces/240 grams. When finely chopped, you should get 1 cup heaped of peach pieces.
- Do not use heaped cups. The batter will turn out too dry. All-purpose flour (US) = Plain flour (UK).
- Use unsweetened Greek yogurt or natural yogurt.
- Olive oil is the best option but if you don’t have it on hand, you can use vegetable or sunflower oil or any mild, flavorless oil.
- This loaf yields 12 slices. This should be plenty for 6 people. Let cool completely before storing.
- Freezer: Slice and place a piece of baking parchment paper between individual slices. Transfer into a resealable freezer friendly bag and freeze.
- Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Kitchen counter: Store wrapped in a clean kitchen towel for 3 days. Use either measuring cups and spoons or a scale!
- The nutritional information is calculated for 1 slice!
