Ingredients

1 cup peaches, peeled and diced

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Notes

  • You can swap peaches for other fruits like apples, strawberries, or blueberries.
  • Add chopped pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
  • Spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg pair well with peach flavor.
  • For a vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based sour cream.
  • Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • Freezes well for up to 3 months when wrapped tightly.
