Delicious and easy spiced peach muffins you can whip up with fresh peaches, spices and vanilla in less than 30 minutes.
Spices and peaches always go hand in hand. They are best summer fruit and are in season now.
You can enjoy them eating as such or cooked in desserts. Fresh peaches can be roasted, grilled, or pickled. You can even freeze them for later use in winter.
Peaches are high in vitamins A and C and rich in prebiotic fibers that feed beneficial gut bacteria. It also contains potassium, which can help support healthy blood pressure, as well as antioxidants, especially in and near the skin of a fresh peach.
How to Make Muffins with Peaches
You need following ingredients to make peaches.
Flour : Always use unbleached all-purpose flour. You can use combo of All-purpose flour or wholewheat flour if you want.
Sugar : Granulated sugar for sweetness.
Baking powder
Baking soda
Spices : I like to use exotic and aromatic cardamom and warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Peaches goes well with all these spices.
Vegetable oil
Egg
Vanilla extract
Salt
Milk: I used whole milk you can use your favorite diary free milk if you want.
Cinnamon infused sugar
Peaches : Seeded, chopped into cubes.
Points to remember while making the easy spiced peach muffins.
- To get a uniform distribution of spices it will be nice to incorporate with dry ingredients.
- You can also add sugar along with dry ingredients, but I like to add it along with wet ingredients to mix it well.
- You can use melted butter instead of vegetable oil if you want.
- Muffin recipes doesn’t require any creaming of butter and sugar.
- Do not overmix the batter it can cause development of gluten which is not good in making muffins.
- Baking the muffins in initial high temperature will help the rise of the muffin, and you can get characteristic dome shape even if batter is heavy with fruits.
- Use fresh peach chopped into ¼ inch cubes. Big pieces will make difficult for the muffins to rise .
- You don’t need to peel the skin. Also add extra fruits on the top of muffins with touch of cinnamon sugar.
Variation for this easy spiced peach muffins
If you are not a fan of peaches you can try other stone fruits, like nectarines, mango, plums, and apricot . All spices will go with that too.
You can add almond meal or almond extract to these muffins to make peach almond muffins.
Also add hazelnuts, walnuts, and pecans if you want nuts and peach muffins.
