Bananas and peaches are two fruits I always seem to have hanging around this time of year. They’re great on their own, but when you mix them together into a loaf of bread, magic happens. This bread is super moist, thanks to the bananas, with a hint of sweetness from the peaches. Plus, it’s low sodium, so you can enjoy it without worrying about the salt.

Peaches in Season: Where to Get the Best

There’s nothing quite like a fresh, juicy peach when it’s in season. Right now is the perfect time to grab some from your local farmers’ market or a nearby orchard. Peaches picked at the peak of ripeness are bursting with flavor, and they make this banana peach bread taste like a slice of summer. If you’re lucky enough to live near a peach farm, take a trip and grab a basketful—you won’t regret it. Fresh, local peaches add a sweetness that store-bought just can’t match, making your homemade bread even more irresistible.

Customize Your Bread: Nuts, Maple Syrup, and Whole Wheat Flour

Want to make your banana peach bread even better? Try adding a handful of chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for some extra crunch and flavor. If you’re looking to cut back on refined sugar, you can swap it out for pure maple syrup—it adds a rich, natural sweetness that pairs perfectly with the peaches and bananas. For a heartier loaf, use whole wheat flour instead of white flour. It gives the bread a nutty flavor and a bit more texture. And if you’re keeping an eye on sodium, substitute the baking soda with no-sodium baking powder. These simple tweaks make the bread even healthier without sacrificing taste. Tip: use double the amount of no sodium baking powder.

More Ways to Enjoy Your Banana Peach Bread

This recipe is as easy as it gets. You don’t need any fancy ingredients or equipment—just some ripe bananas, juicy peaches, and a few pantry staples. Mix it all up, toss it in the oven, and in about an hour, you’ll have a delicious homemade bread that’s perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert.

But let’s talk about the other ways you can enjoy this bread because it’s pretty versatile:

French Toast: Slice up your banana peach bread, dip it in some egg and milk, and cook it up for an extra-special French toast. The fruit gives it a natural sweetness, so you might not even need syrup—though I won’t judge if you pour it on.
Bread Pudding: Got some leftovers? Turn them into a cozy bread pudding. Just cube the bread, mix it with eggs, milk, and a bit of sugar, and bake. It’s like a hug in a bowl.
Trifle: If you’re feeling fancy, layer slices of banana peach bread with whipped cream and fresh fruit to make a trifle. It’s an impressive dessert that doesn’t take much effort.
Ice Cream Sandwiches: Cut a slice of bread in half, add a scoop of your favorite low-sodium ice cream between the halves, and you’ve got yourself a fun and tasty treat.
Grilled Cheese: This might sound a little out there, but trust me—grilled cheese with banana peach bread is a sweet and savory combo that just works. Try it with a mild cheese like brie or mozzarella.
