Title: Peach Muffins Recipe
Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
– 2 large eggs, room temperature
– 3/4 cup milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 and 1/2 cups fresh peaches, diced
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be thick and slightly lumpy.
5. Gently fold in the diced peaches, being careful not to break them apart.
6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
7. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Peach Muffins are best enjoyed warm, but they can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm them in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for a few minutes.
