- 1 1/2 cups peeled and chopped ripe peaches (fresh or canned, well-drained)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.

Notes
- Substitute peaches with nectarines, apricots, or even apples depending on the season.
- Lightly dust the chopped peaches with a tablespoon of flour before folding them in to prevent sinking.
