Ingredients List
– 1 can (29 oz) sliced peaches in heavy syrup or juice, undrained
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup milk
– ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
– ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
– Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place melted butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish, tilting it to coat the bottom evenly.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Slowly stir in the milk until a smooth batter forms. Do not overmix.
Step 3: Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the dish. Do not stir.
Step 4: Spoon canned peaches and their syrup evenly over the batter. The batter will rise up around the fruit as it bakes.

Step 6: Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Add vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top if desired.
