Ripe, juicy peaches and delicious soft coffee cake make the perfect summer brunch!
As August winds down here a bit, I’m sort of clinging to my last little bit of relaxed, care free summer days. We have had a beautiful summer. I really couldn’t have asked for better weather – it has been a great summer break!
Every mid-August I like to take that last bowl of ripe peaches and make a special weekend breakfast for the family as we start shifting gears to thinking about school. My oldest will be in first grade this year and we enjoyed our coffee cake while talking about school shopping that needed to be done in the next couple weeks.
It is so hard for me to grasp her maturity lately – she helped me put the peach slices on the coffee cake this year, and she moves and acts just like a little lady these days.
I really hope you get a chance to celebrate the end of summer with a fun weekend brunch as you enjoy the last few lazy summer mornings in your home! I would love to know what you are celebrating with – and if you decide to make this peach coffee cake be sure to enjoy every bite!
By the way! We only eat about half of this coffee cake in one sitting – the slices freeze up so great so you can have it again another morning.

I love peaches! And this looks awesome. Such a fun breakfast.
Hi Renee! I was wondering about a good substitute for almond flour. Thanks!!
Hi Amanda! Sorghum or brown rice flour should work – almond flour is a bit “lighter” so maybe don’t use as much though? Start out with half and see how the batter looks – you can always add more if it looks like it needs it!
