Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups Whole Wheat Pastry Flour Or all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Wet Ingredients & Peaches
  • 1 large Egg Lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt Or unsweetened applesauce for dairy-free
  • 1/3 cup Pure Maple Syrup
  • 1/4 cup Melted Coconut Oil Or melted unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Fresh Peaches Diced, about 2 medium peaches
  • 1 tablespoon Peach or Maple Syrup For dusting the top (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons Rolled Oats For topping (optional)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with oil.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until thoroughly combined.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to gently fold the mixture together until *just* combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Gently fold in the diced fresh peaches. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  6. Optional: Lightly sprinkle the tops of the muffins with the extra tablespoon of maple syrup and rolled oats for a slight crunch.
  7. Bake for 5 minutes at 400°F, then immediately reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking at a higher initial temperature helps them rise well.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

The natural sweetness depends heavily on the ripeness of your peaches. For an even richer flavor, incorporate 1/4 cup of finely chopped walnuts or pecans along with the peaches. Muffins store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
