Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups buttermilk
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup ripe peaches, diced
- 1 cup ripe nectarines, diced
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and eggs until fully combined.
Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the diced peaches and nectarines, being careful not to crush the fruit.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
If desired, sprinkle the tops with brown sugar for added sweetness and a slight crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious peach nectarine muffins!
