What Kind of Peaches is Used for Peach Muffins?
There are hundreds of varieties of peaches, but they all can be broken down into three different categories:
Freestone- these are peaches where the stone can easily be removed from the flesh.
Semi-Freestone- this is somewhere in between.
Clingstone- The pit is a bit more stubborn when it comes to removing it.
For ease of the process, freestone peaches would be best since they are also larger and juicier. But the bottom line is to find ripe but still a little firm peaches. So they can hold their shape during the baking process.
If you decide to use another variety keep in mind that the final product may not end up with the same texture due to different moisture content of the peaches.
Ingredients Needed to Make Peach Cobbler Muffins
Ripe bananas – one of my favorite ways to sweeten a recipe without sugar. The riper the banana, the sweeter they will be.
Sweet potato puree – another great way to sweeten a recipe without sugar, also helps to create a denser muffin-like texture.
Fresh peaches – the star of the show! Read the section above on the best peaches to use for this recipe. It makes a difference!
Coconut flour – Replaces refined flour in traditional recipes but it cannot be substituted 1:1 ratio because coconut flour absorbs much more moisture.
Coconut sugar – subtly sweet with a hint of caramel, similar to brown sugar.
Walnuts (Optional)
How to Make Peach Cobbler Muffins
As promised, this recipe is very easy to make.
First, preheat oven to 375 F.
In a large bowl, take all of your wet ingredients: banana, sweet potato puree, eggs, and vanilla extract, and thoroughly combine.
Then in a separate smaller bowl combine baking soda, coconut flour, and coconut sugar.
Next, add all of the dry ingredients into your wet ingredients and mix.
Lastly, gently fold in your peaches and walnuts (if using).
Place muffin mix into tins and bake at 375 F for 25-30 minutes; until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center. Boom. Done!
How to Store Almond Flour Muffins
Store these delicious muffins in the fridge for up to 5 days or carefully sealed in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Perfect for making a bunch ahead of time and pulling from the freezer as you need it.
My Favorite Ways to Serve Peach Muffins
These muffins are seriously SO good on their own, but there are definitely ways to doll them up to keep your taste buds happy.
I really like to top it with yogurt which is like a peach and cream but a lighter version.
Additionally, adding nut butter to make it a little more filling and helps get me through to my next snack or meal.
Topping them with ice cream or a whipped topping is a great way to transform this breakfast into a lighter dessert- without the guilt.
Drizzling some honey or maple syrup over the top really makes this a sweet treat if that’s what you’re craving!
