Really, I've been reading a great book "How to Pick a Peach" and in it, the author gives great information about many of the seasonal produce. Love it. That's where I learned about the peach vs. nectarine gene.
So, while this muffin recipe is really a peach muffin recipe, I made ours with a less fuzzy variety... the nectarine.
Peach (or Nectarine) Muffins
Muffin
1 C flour
1/3 C whole wheat flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking powder
pinch of salt
1/4 C applesauce
1 egg
1/2 C brown sugar
1/2 C milk
~2 C diced peaches/nectarines
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Topping
1/2 C oats
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 T brown sugar
In a bowl, combine flours, cinnamon, baking powder and salt. Stir well.
In another bowl, mix the egg, applesauce, brown sugar, milk, and vanilla together.
Add in fruit.
Then, mix the wet and dry ingredients together.
Pour into muffin cups -- either 6 jumbo or 12 regular muffin cups.
Mix together topping and sprinkle over the muffins, lightly press into the muffins so the topping sticks.
Bake at 400 until muffins are done, about 20 minutes.
Allow muffins to cool, out of the muffin tin for about 10 minutes before eating.
yum those look great. we still have peaches on the trees around here. usually they are done by now but they are just holding on!!
ReplyDeleteThese look wonderful! My younger daughter loves peaches so I'm guessing these will be a hit with her!
ReplyDeleteThese look great. Anything peach this time of year is good for me :)
ReplyDeleteI did not know about the gene difference in the peach and nectarine. I love both !
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog today and sharing this recipe, looks and sounds so good !
~ Blessings to you dear one.
These look delish! I love muffins for breakfast!
ReplyDeleteThese really do look good. I'm a peach person so I'll be using peaches to make these. It's a really nice recipe.
ReplyDeleteSo, if you eat them right away does the hot peaches burn your mouth?
ReplyDeleteI am just wondering as I love them so piping hot out of the oven!!
Those do look great. I may have to pop a batch into the oven later today or tomorrow (especially if it starts to rain - love the oven on in the rain).
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about the gene thing - guess that's why I love both ..... now why don't my kids or hubby? I'm sure its just a "mind" thing
Peach muffins sound great. We love muffins and I like to change what goes into them for variety in eating.
ReplyDeleteCan you use frozen peaches? If so to thaw or not to thaw first? Thanks!
ReplyDelete@ Dana -- I'm guessing you can use frozen peaches. I would thaw and drain them (or pat them dry with a towel) before using them in the muffins.
