Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups buttermilk
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and diced
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be lumpy.
Fold in the diced fresh peaches, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Fill each cup about three-fourths full.
If desired, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with coarse sugar for added texture and sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your fresh peach muffins warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
