Hey everyone! Enjoying the summer so far? Have you eaten a fresh peach over the sink yet? You know when it’s so juicy that there’s no other way to eat it? That’s summer right there, don’t ya think?
Besides eating them as they are, I love incorporating peaches into other things, like these peach muffins.
How to Make this Peach Muffin Recipe
- Prepare muffin pan by lining with muffin liners and spraying with baking spray. Preheat your oven at this time too.
- Next, place all purpose flour in a bowl.
- Add whole wheat flour.
- Then, mix in baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Lay to one side for later.
- Blend honey with butter until combined.
- Stir in vanilla extract.
- Next, mix in eggs (one at a time) until just combined.
- Blend in half of your reserved flour mixture…
- Alternating with milk.
- Add freshly diced peach. You can mix in with blender or stir in with a spatula.
- Scoop batter into prepared muffin pan (I like to use an ice-cream scoop) and sprinkle with some oats, if you like! Bake, cool slightly and enjoy!
Other Ways to Use Fresh Peach
- Enjoy as is, of course! So good!
- Throw ’em in a smoothie
- Dice up over a salad
- Grill peach slices to have with vanilla ice-cream
- Make a seasonal salsa
- Ice cream, like this delicious homemade peach ice-cream from Jennifer over at Seasons & Suppers
Tips for Making These Healthy Peach Muffins
- I didn’t peel the peaches, but you could totally do that if you prefer. Taste of Home has a great guide to peel peaches.
- Half all purpose flour and half whole wheat flour was used, but you could use just all purpose if you like.
- To soften butter (that has just come out of the refrigerator) quickly, cut into small squares and place on a plate, in one layer. Let sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes or so until softened.
