1-Getting started: Getting started with this Cinnamon Peach Bread is as simple as preheating your oven and mixing a few bowls. Begin by setting your oven to 350°F and lining a 9×5 inch bread pan with parchment paper for easy removal later. This step helps the bread bake evenly and prevents it from sticking.

2-In a large bowl, whisk together the melted or browned butter, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, 3 eggs, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until smooth and combined. Then, add 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour or all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt, mixing everything until it’s fully blended without overworking the batter.

3-Next, fold in 1 cup of chopped ripe peaches to add that fresh burst of flavor. Pour the batter into your prepared pan, then swirl 3 tablespoons of peach jam through it for a fruity twist. In another bowl, create the cinnamon swirl topping by mixing 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons whole wheat or all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons salted butter to form clumps, and scatter them over the batter.

4-Bake the bread for 55-60 minutes, checking that the center is set cover with foil if it browns too fast. Once done, let it cool slightly before slicing. This method, with its straightforward steps, works well for beginners and allows for fun variations like making muffins instead, which take about 20 minutes.
