Description
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.

- Set aside
- In another mixing bowl, blend together the brown sugar, ricotta, oil, eggs and vanilla

- Open tin of peaches and drain very well
- Set aside 8 slices
- Dice remaining peach slices to make one cup
- If using fresh peaches, you will need one cup diced peaches plus the slices for garnish

- Let cool in pans for 20 minutes, then remove loaves from pans and let cool completely on a rack
