Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup buttermilk (or make your own by adding 1 tablespoon vinegar to 1 cup of milk)

2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced (approximately 3 medium peaches)

1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional, for added crunch)

1 tablespoon turbinado sugar for sprinkling on top (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your muffin tin by lining it with paper muffin liners or by lightly greasing each cup with cooking spray.

Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, use a whisk to blend the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg (if desired) until everything is well mixed and there are no lumps.

Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the cooled melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk these ingredients thoroughly until they are well mixed. Gradually stir in the buttermilk until incorporated.

Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. With a spatula, gently fold the ingredients together just until they are combined. Be mindful not to overmix; it’s perfectly fine if the batter has a few lumps.

Add Peaches: Carefully fold in the diced peaches and chopped nuts (if using) until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Fill Muffin Cups: Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, fill each muffin cup about 3/4 of the way full with batter. If you’d like to add a touch of sweetness and crunch, sprinkle a little turbinado sugar on top of each muffin.

Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven. Bake the muffins for about 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.

Cool: Once finished baking, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for approximately 5 minutes. Then, carefully transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve and Enjoy: These Sweet Peachy Bliss Muffins are delightful when served warm. For storage, keep the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
