Fresh Peach Breakfast Bars


I just realized recently that I have been blogging for nineteen years. That is a long time to be testimg and sharing recipes, and over all those years some recipes have gotten lost. This recipe is one that I have made over the years every time peaches are in season but I haven’t updated the recipe in over ten years.

I pulled the recipe out this week to tweak and to take better photos of the finished product. This is an easy breakfast or coffee cake that can be pulled together in minutes and is very moist and delicious. It isn’t too sweet so it would be great for breakfast, or along with a coffee for a mid-morning break. 

My husband loves to offer anyone that comes into our house (delivery men, carpenters, plumbers etc.) a cup of coffee and a sweet so I always try to have something handy. If I know someone will be at the house working and will therefor be offered a “coffee break” by my husband, this is the perfect snack to have ready as I can pull a couple of squares out of the freezer in the morning and they are ready for guests, unexpected or not.

Peaches are presently in season, and I always seem to buy too many of them when we make our weekly market runs so I am too often looking for new ways to use up my surplus supply. This cake turned out even better than I expected the first time I made it many years ago and I have made it often through the years.
