Fresh Peaches

Ripe, juicy, fresh peaches are always a tasty treat. Last week my parents purchased a bushel basket of fresh peaches at a local open-air market and were kind enough to share their bounty with us. Although I love eating a fresh peach straight from the tree, I also enjoy a fabulous recipe that includes peaches.

Regular All-Purpose Flour

First of all, it’s always fun experimenting with a recipe, so I whipped up two separate batches of muffins. I used regular all-purpose flour in one batch and gluten-free flour blend in the second batch then placed the batter in two separate non-stick muffin tins. Both turned out well. 

Gluten-Free Flour Blend

Peachy Peach Muffins made with all-purpose flour turned out a little lighter, while the gluten-free muffins were somewhat heavier.

It seems this is often the case whenever comparing baked products made with wheat flour vs gluten-free flour. As a result, either version received “two thumbs up” during a taste-testing trial by my husband. 

Peachy Peach Muffins are so delicious that I predict you will be making these muffins on a regular basis. 

In conclusion, both sets of Peachy Peach Muffins turned out to be moist and loaded with chunks of fresh peaches. Additionally, you can easily tweak this recipe by stirring in a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts into the batter for even more flavor.

• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 teaspoons baking powder (*GF option: use gluten free baking powder)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• (*GF option only: 2 heaping tablespoons ground flax)
• 1 cup milk (I used rice milk in the gluten free recipe and it worked fine)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 egg
• 6 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 cup fresh peaches, chopped into small chunks
• Optional: 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Fresh peaches easily bruise and quickly spoil so this recipe is a fabulous way to keep from throwing them out.
