Peach Muffins

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup milk: Any milk of your choice.
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups diced fresh peaches: About 2-3 medium peaches (can use canned peaches, drained, if needed).

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:

   • In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, ¼ teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon (if using).

3. Mix Wet Ingredients:

   • In another bowl, combine ¾ cup of granulated sugar with ½ cup of melted butter. Add 2 large eggs, ½ cup of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

4. Combine Mixtures:

   • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the diced peaches.

5. Fill Muffin Cups:

   • Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

6. Bake:

   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Cool:

   • Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. Serve:

   • Enjoy your peach muffins warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.

Variations:

• Peach Crumble Muffins: Top the muffins with a simple crumble made of flour, brown sugar, and butter before baking for added texture.
• Nutty Addition: Fold in chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
• Spiced Peaches: Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger for extra warmth.

These peach muffins are a delightful way to enjoy fresh peaches and make a perfect treat any time! Enjoy!
