This easy Peach Muffin Recipe will be your go to when you’re looking for a delicious way to enjoy those summer peaches! They’re packed with sweet, juicy peach and naturally sweetened with honey. Perfect for breakfast or that mid afternoon snack!
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.

So perfect for this peach season! Can´t make these enough!

I must’ve tasted a dozen peach varieties at our local Farmers Market yesterday. I settled on a few and have a ton of them in the kitchen. This recipe is perfect for me. Assuming I don’t eat all the peaches first. Ha! 😉 ~Valentina
How awesome is that?? Lucky you! Thank you Valentina 🙂
I love everything about this recipe, Dawn – the ease, the nutrition and above all – peaches! My favorite (well, this month, anyway) but definitely in my top 3 favorite fruits. Ha! Anyway, great recipe – I love that you used part whole wheat flour!
Thank you very much, Laura 🙂 You’re so kind 🙂
LOVING these! I found some great peaches over the weekend and, of course, I ate them all. But I’m headed to the store in a few minutes so I’ll pick up a few to make these. They look wonderful!
Hahaha! Hope you love them! Thanks Kelsie 🙂
As soon as Ontario peaches hit the market, I’m all about the peaches, so I can’t wait to bake up a batch of these lovely muffins. A great peach treat 🙂
Yay! Thank you Jennifer 🙂
Out of all the summer fruits, peaches have to be my favorite Dawn. I love how these are naturally sweetened. I will be adding these to my baking list for my guests at the beach for sure! Pinned and so excited to try!
Yay! Hope you enjoy them! Thanks Mary Ann 🙂
I absolutely love fresh peach season! I seriously look forward to this time of the year for 12 months. And I love baking homemade muffins…so this combination is absolutely calling – no, screaming – my name right now. I wish I had one of these muffins sitting next to my morning coffee right now!!
Lol! Lovely combo with coffee! Thanks David 🙂
Ok, so I’ve been looking for recipes I can make with my kids (aka: summer vacation is only halfway done!). My boys love peaches, and I love recipes for them that don’t have added sugar. Win-win!
So happy to hear that! Hope you guys enjoy 🙂 Thanks Matt!
Muffins are my favourite! Peach is my favourite fruit! I love honey as a sweetener 🙂 I think this may be the recipe for me 😀
Yay! Thanks Alexandra 🙂
I love peaches SO much!!! I haven’t had any delicious ones yet this year, so I’m hoping they show up at the farmer’s market soon. I also love peaches in baked goods. SO GOOD!!!! Can’t wait to try these!
