Peaches & Cream Cheese Quick Bread

Here’s a rewritten version with different wording while keeping the same meaning and recipe details:

Peach Cream Cheese Bread

This Peach Cream Cheese Bread is soft, buttery, and wonderfully moist, making it ideal for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. Cream cheese creates a rich, tender texture, while fresh lemon zest adds a bright citrus note that complements the sweet peaches beautifully.

Ingredients

IngredientAmount
Softened cream cheese8 oz (1 package)
Unsalted butter, softened1/2 cup
Granulated sugar1 1/2 cups
Lemon zest1/2 tablespoon
Large eggs2
All-purpose flour2 1/4 cups
Salt1 1/2 teaspoons
Baking powder1 tablespoon
Ground cinnamon (optional)1 teaspoon
Milk1 cup
Canned peaches, drained and diced15 oz (1 can)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pan and Batter Base

Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. Add the sugar, eggs, and lemon zest, then continue mixing until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy.

Step 2: Blend the Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir well so the leavening agents and spices are evenly distributed throughout the flour.

Step 3: Finish the Batter

Gradually add the flour mixture and milk to the cream cheese mixture, alternating between the two and mixing just until incorporated. Fold in the diced peaches gently.

Tip: Stir only until everything is combined. Excessive mixing can result in a heavier loaf.

Step 4: Bake the Loaf

Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Bake for approximately 50 to 55 minutes, or until the top is golden and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 5: Cool Before Slicing

Allow the bread to rest in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes. Then remove it and place it on a wire rack to cool completely before cutting.

Cooling fully helps the loaf firm up, giving you cleaner slices and the best texture.
