Peaches And Cream Muffins
Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
– 2 large eggs, room temperature
– 1/2 cup sour cream
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 1/2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
– Optional: 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts for topping
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps in the batter are okay.
5. Gently fold in the diced peaches until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
7. Optional: Sprinkle the chopped pecans or walnuts on top of each muffin for added crunch and flavor.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
9. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Peaches and Cream Muffins are best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven, but they also taste delicious at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer storage. Simply reheat the muffins in the microwave for a few seconds for that freshly baked taste.
With their tender crumb, juicy peaches, and irresistible aroma, these muffins are sure to bring a touch of summer into your home any time of the year. Whip up a batch of these Peaches and Cream Muffins and watch as they disappear in no time, leaving behind smiles and satisfied taste buds.
