Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 2 units Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Fresh peaches (peeled, diced, and lightly tossed in 1 tablespoon of flour)
- 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (optional for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the diced peaches that have been lightly tossed in flour to prevent sinking. Stir gently to evenly distribute the peaches throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. If desired, sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar for added texture and sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the sweet, fruity flavors of these peach muffins!
