Why is it that winter lasts for what feels like 9 months, but peach season is so freaking short?  Technically peach season is considered late May through late September, but unless you live in California, Georgia or South Carolina you’re playing Russian roulette by buying peaches before late June which really only gives you 3 months of peachy goodness, which just isn’t enough time if you ask me.

Ingredient List

• Flour
• Salt
• Baking powder
• Dark Brown Sugar - light brown is fine as well, I just prefer the flavor of dark brown
• Ground Allspice
• Ground Nutmeg – fresh is best here – pre-ground nutmeg just isn’t as good.
• Cinnamon – again, fresh ground is best here, but pre-ground works.
• Eggs
• Oil
• Milk
• Peaches

Tips and Tricks

1. These are a very dense muffin, and despite the two cups of sugar they aren’t overly sweet,
2. The muffins get a lot of their moisture and sweetness from the peaches themselves, so make sure to use as ripe and juicy peaches as you can find.

To Make Spiced Peach Muffins:

Start by lining your muffin tins with paper liners, or you can just spray each cup with non-stick spray.

In a very large bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, salt, and the spices until fully combined and no lumps remain.  In a separate bowl or large measuring cup (a 3 cup measuring cup is the smallest you’d want to go) whisk together the oil, milk and eggs until well combined.  Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined.  The batter is very thick.  Then gently stir in the diced peaches.  You want a fairly small dice so that the peaches spread all throughout the batter and don’t all land in one spot. 

Fill the muffin cups all the way to the top – the muffins rise quite a bit due to the amount of baking powder in the recipe, but they don’t spread too much. 

Dust the tops with granulated sugar, or you could do a mixture of cinnamon and sugar and then bake for 25 to 30 minutes.  Test with a toothpick after 25, and if it comes out clean, you’re good to remove them from the oven.  Test a few, since you can get a false reading if the toothpick goes through a peach.

Servings 16 Muffins

Ingredients

  

• 4 ½ cups all purpose flour
• 2 cups dark brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground allspice
• ½ teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
• 1 ¼ cups milk
• ¾ cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 3 large or 4 small peaches diced small
• Granulated sugar

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 400.
• Line 16 muffin cups or spray with non stick cooking spray and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, salt, baking powder and spices. Whisk this mixture until no large lumps remain.
• In a separate bowl, or a large measuring cup (my preferred method - why dirty more dishes than necessary) gently stir together the milk and oil, then add the eggs, and whisk to combine.
• Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture, and stir to combine. The batter is very thick.
• Gently fold in the diced peaches, and fill each prepared muffin cup all the way to the top.
