Peach Ricotta Mini Loaves image

I am a great fan of my mini loaf pans, and so adapted this recipe I found while watching the Sugar tv show to make mini loaves. So cute! (And perfect for passing along to friends and neighbours, too.) You'll notice the lack of spice; the idea is for the peach flavour to come through, but feel free to add some cinnamon or nutmeg if you wish.

Time 50m

Yield 4 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup ricotta cheese (the creamy kind sold in a tub)
1/2 cup canola oil
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 (14 ounce) can peach slices, well drained (fresh peaches can also be used, see instructions for details)
2 teaspoons turbinado sugar (approximate measure)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F; spray 4 mini loaf pans with a light spray of nonstick cooking spray (or use 1 9x5 loaf pan, if you wish, but you'll need to bake the one loaf longer, likely about 50 minutes) and set aside.
  • Sift, through a sieve, the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a mixing bowl; set aside.
  • In another mixing bowl, blend together the brown sugar, ricotta, oil, eggs and vanilla; set aside.
  • Open tin of peaches and drain very well; set aside 8 slices (which you will need to garnish top of loaves).
  • Dice remaining peach slices to make one cup; if using fresh peaches, you will need one cup diced peaches (peel peaches first) plus the slices for garnish.
  • If your diced peaches seem wet (they likely will), pat dry with paper towel.
  • Add flour mixture to ricotta mixture all at once and stir just until flour is incorporated; do not overstir.
  • Stir diced peaches into mixture.
  • Divide mixture between the 4 mini loaf pans and smooth tops.
  • Place two peach slices atop each, then sprinkle top of each with turbinado sugar, approximately 1/2 tsp per loaf pan.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until tops are golden brown and a tester inserted in centre of loaves comes out clean.
  • Let cool in pans for 20 minutes, then remove loaves from pans and let cool completely on a rack.

I had a hard time finding ripe peaches for this recipe. I think I would use frozen peaches next time.

These mini loaves are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would use less sugar next time.

The ricotta filling in these mini loaves is a bit too bland for me. I think I would add some lemon zest or vanilla extract next time.

I'm not usually a fan of ricotta but these mini loaves changed my mind. The ricotta filling is light and fluffy, and the peaches add a nice sweetness.
