Fresh peaches and amaretto are a match made in heaven in this SUPER-soft glazed amaretto peach quick bread! Perfect way to use up those summer peaches.
I am very into peaches and amaretto liquor hanging out in the same quick bread together, friends.
Obviously with glaze. Would I even dare to show up with a knock-you-naked quick bread without glaze?
Ahhhhh yes. ^^^ Just like that. Dripping down literally every square inch of peach quick bread goodness. ??
Shocking, I know but this is my current favorite quick bread of ALL time, guys.
All the prep for this bread is quick, quick, QUICK today. Seriously, one bowl batter, 50-min bake time (yeaaaah I know, the most patience-trying part of quick breads) glaze it all up, slice it all up, EAT it all up, and call it day.
I use just 1/4 cup of amaretto liquor in this bread and you really don’t need much more than that because it lends SUCH an amazing almond-y flavor that pairs so well with the fragrant, juicy peaches.
Psssssst…there’s more amaretto in the glaze too but if you’re worried about the raw alcohol, you can always skip it and just use more half and half.
After glazing this bread I also like to sprinkle sliced almonds on top. Cause we’ve obviously got the most prettiest peach quick bread EVER so why not make it even more gorgeous?
After that I like to eat it. Eat it all to be precise. ♥

Sandra Nava says
Can you use almond flour as a substitute for whole wheat flour?
Sarah says
Unfortunately no, because almond flour has a vastly different consistency than wheat flour. Do you have any other types of flour substitutes?
Sandra Nava says
I use many flour substitutes,what kinds are interchangeable? Thank you for your previous reply
Sarah says
A gluten free flour blend or all-purpose flour would both be fine substitutes if you are able to do so. 🙂

Can you tell me the amount of peaches to use if they are canned? No fresh ones right now, but recipe sounds delicious & I have all ingredients except fresh peaches.
Sarah says
Yes, absolutely! You would want to use about 1-1/2 cups. 🙂
Heidi says
Is there a sub for the amoretto? We have nut allergies but LOVE peaches! This would be a great substitute since we now have a banana allergy and my little guy loved banana bread.
Sarah says
Hi Heidi! You can sub any fruit juice in place of the amaretto. Orange juice or apple would be great in this recipe! Just be mindful of the amount of juice you add to the glaze and adjust with powdered sugar as necessary.
