Bep's Peach-banana bread

This is a great recipe for using up peaches that are ready to "go" (or bananas, as well!). It isn't an AMAZING recipe, but it's good, hearty, and simple. Bep had a wonderful time making it, and we've all had a delicious time eating it!

Makes 2 loaves.

Ingredients:

3 eggs
2 cups white sugar
1 cup canola oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
1.5 cups white flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups diced (tiny) peaches (that's about 6 small)
2 mashed ripe bananas


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two bread pans (we use 8x4, but 9x4 works fine, too).

Beat the eggs lightly in a large bowl and add in the sugar, vanilla, and oil. Add dry ingredients and mix until gently combined. Stir in peaches and bananas and pour into loaf pans. Bake 45 minutes to an hour, or until the center indicates done-ness.

(Know that there might be a bit of banana on the knife when you test, but that's normal!).

Fresco e bello: a bit of honey butter on top, and you've got a breakfast treat fit for a king!

I made this recipe - its lovely! I halved the sugar and with all the fruit it was just the right sweetness. Next time I will try replacing some of the oil with another banana and will also fold in some larger pieces of peach at the end because their flavor was a little lost. 5 stars, light, wholesome, great texture. I will definitely make this again.
