Just Peachy Almond Muffins
**Ingredients:**
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup almond flour
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
– 2 large eggs
– 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
– 1 teaspoon almond extract
– 1 cup chopped fresh peaches
– Sliced almonds for topping
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, almond flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well until all the dry ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, Greek yogurt, and almond extract until smooth.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps in the batter are okay.
5. Gently fold in the chopped fresh peaches, being careful not to break them up too much.
6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Top each muffin with a sprinkle of sliced almonds for added crunch and visual appeal.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
8. Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve these Just Peachy Almond Muffins warm or at room temperature. They are perfect for breakfast, as a snack, or even as a sweet treat for dessert.
Enjoy the delightful combination of juicy peaches and nutty almonds in every bite of these muffins. Whether you enjoy them fresh out of the oven or toasted the next day, they are bound to become a staple in your baking repertoire. Share a batch with friends and family or keep them all to yourself – the choice is yours. Happy baking!
