Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional) For added flavor

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh peaches, diced (use ripe, juicy peaches for best flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon if using. This helps distribute the leavening agents evenly.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the milk, large egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Blend Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while stirring gently. Mix just until combined to avoid overworking the batter, which can make muffins dense.
  5. Add the Peaches: Gently fold the diced fresh peaches into the batter, making sure they are evenly distributed without breaking them down too much.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, indicating they are fully cooked.
  8. Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor; thawed frozen peaches can be used but drain excess moisture to prevent soggy muffins.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins tender and fluffy.
  • Try adding mix-ins like blueberries, nuts, or lemon zest for flavor variations.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
  • Reheat muffins in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or warm in a toaster oven before serving.
