What’s in These Peach Muffins?

• Peaches: Fresh, juicy, and pureed for maximum flavor.
• White Whole Wheat Flour: 100% whole grain goodness.
• Light Brown Sugar or Coconut Sugar: Just a touch for sweetness.
• Baking Soda: The fluff factor.
• Eggs: Two large ones, or flax eggs if you’re out.
• Honey: A drizzle for that natural sweetness.
• Vanilla, Cinnamon, and Ginger: Flavor boosters!
• Almond Milk: Any milk works, but we love almond.
• Coconut Oil: Don’t skip it; it’s essential.

How to Prepare Peaches for Peach Muffins

You use peaches two different ways in this peach muffin recipe; pureed and chunked.

1. 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.
2. Remove the pits– after peeling the peaches, cut the peach in half and remove the pit from the middle of the peaches.
3. Chunk– cut one peach into small chunks that will eventually be folded into the muffin batter.
4. 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.

Variations and Ingredient Substitutions

• Peach Puree: No peaches? Try applesauce, pear puree, or mashed banana.
• Flour: feel free to swap the white whole wheat flour for all-purpose or a gluten-free flour blend.
• Sweeteners: Maple syrup can replace honey.

Tools You Need for Peach Muffins

Here are a few of our favorite baking tools that makes this peach muffin fool proof.

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.
