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

1/2 cup Pure Maple Syrup Grade A Dark Robust
1/2 cup Unsweetened Applesauce or melted coconut oil
1 large Egg room temperature
1/2 cup Milk dairy or non-dairy
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 cups Fresh Peaches diced small

Method

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until thoroughly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, applesauce, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are acceptable.
Gently fold in the diced peaches until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Distribute the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Optionally, sprinkle the tops with a pinch of cinnamon or a few quick oats.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra texture, reserve 1/4 cup of the diced peaches and toss them with 1 teaspoon of flour before folding them into the batter to prevent them from sinking. These muffins are best enjoyed within 3 days.
