Spiced Peach Muffins Make My Day
These sweet and spicy peach muffins are guaranteed to get your morning off to a great start. In fact, the other day they made me so cheery I scooped up half the batch and took them to our neighbor across the street. She was incredibly grateful for the impromptu baked goods delivery. After she’d taken her first few bites I asked her to babysit our fish for a week while we are away on vacation and she graciously agreed. I think the muffins did the trick. Like me, at first bite she was won over by the chunky peaches enveloped in warm spices. Even though I’d baked them during naptime the day before, the exceptionally tender crumb was buttery and moist like they’d just been pulled out of the oven. As my neighbor now agrees, these muffins just might be the peach muffin recipe you’ve always been looking for.

10 Great Fruit Muffins for Summer! at Family Kitchen commented on Jun 01 11 at 7:41 amRachel commented on Oct 18 10 at 2:21 amMy husband just took these out of the oven. He made them with peaches from the farmers’ market (we live in California, so October is still peach time)… two huge ones were more than enough for the recipe. I’d write more, but I think I need to go eat another muffin.
Amanda commented on Jul 13 11 at 6:12 pmI just popped my first batch out of the oven. SO GOOD. I used three very large peaches. I can’t wait to take them into work tomorrow… if they make it that long… :)
Linda commented on Oct 01 11 at 5:18 amMy first batch is still in the oven, made 12 so far, and still have another probably 10 or so coming. I substituted 2 cups of flour with oatmeal, otherwise followed the recipe. Can’t wait to serve this yummy dessert for my guests tonight :)
