How to Prepare Peaches for Peach Muffins
You use peaches two different ways in this peach muffin recipe; pureed and chunked.
Peel the peaches– pureed or chunked we recommend peeling the peaches. The skin of peaches can be a bit tough for this recipe. Use a vegetable peeler or a very sharp knife to carefully peel the skin from each peach.
Remove the pits– after peeling the peaches, cut the peach in half and remove the pit from the middle of the peaches.
Chunk– cut one peach into small chunks that will eventually be folded into the muffin batter.
Puree– to make the peach puree for this peach muffin recipe, place 4 peaches into a blender along with 1-2 tablespoons of water and blend until smooth.

Tools You Need for Peach Muffins

How to Choose peaches
When picking out peaches for these muffins, we recommend choosing peaches that have a sweet scent and have some give when you squeeze them rather than rock hard.
DON’T OVER MIX
Our #1 baking tip with any muffin recipe is DO NOT OVER MIX!
If you over mix your batter you risk over-whipping the eggs. This removes the air that helps the muffins rise and become super fluffy.
TOOTHPICK TEST
Use a toothpick to check if the center of your muffins are fully cooked. Simply stick a toothpick halfway in. If it comes out clean you know they’re done!
LET MUFFINS COOL
I’ve made this mistake time and time again. Let your muffins cool for 5-10 minutes before trying to remove them from the muffin tin. If you remove them too soon, your muffins might fall apart!

Storage
Let your peaches muffins cool completely on a cooling rack. Then, transfer them into an airtight container or gallon-size plastic bag and store them on the countertop for up to 2-3 days OR in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
Freezer Instructions
Let the peach muffins cool completely and then wrap them in a piece of tin foil. Remove as much air as possible and then place into the freezer for up to 3 months.
You can wrap 2 together or all 12, it’s all up to you! You can also store them in a freezer-safe gallon-size bag for additional freezer protection.

These muffins were really good. I used GF flour and a little oat bran. I tried to cut back on the sugar just a little too. the Peach purée really adds to the flavor.
So glad these modifications worked for you, Angela! We love the peach puree too 😀
Just to be sure, only one cup of the purée is used? I’m asking because that amount of peaches yields more. Thanks!
Wow these are delicious! The peach purée makes the muffins moist and so sweet and flavorful! So easy to make too.
Can’t wait to make these!!
What would happen if I didn’t peel them?
Here in Florida we are at peak mango season. You got it! This recipe became THE BEST mango muffin ever!!! Pureed, diced, mixed with love (and a little extra ginger) I topped them off with unsweetened Greek yogurt. Sent one with the grandkid to camp this morning. “I’m so excited to eat it’ she screamed.
So fun that you subbed in mangos! LOVE that idea, and so glad your grandkid enjoyed, too 🙂
Delicious peach muffins I couldn’t resist !
Beautiful muffins!
