MAKE-AHEAD PEACH MUFFINS

If you want to make these muffins ahead of time, they freeze very well. It’s especially great if you make a double batch of the muffins. Then you can serve some the day of and save the rest for up to 6 months. 

  • Start by flash freezing the Peach Muffins for an hour while still in the muffin tin. 
  • Once they’re frozen solid, transfer the muffins to a freezer bag. Flash freezing them will ensure they don’t freeze together.

TIPS FOR MAKING PEACH MUFFINS

  • Prep: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and then line the muffin tin with paper muffin liners. 
  • Wet Ingredients: Add the sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to a large bowl or stand mixer. If it’s in a stand mixer set the mixer to its lowest speed and mix until smooth. It will only take about 30 seconds. Mixing it by hand may take longer, just stir until smooth. 
  • Dry ingredients: Slowly sift in the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon to the wet ingredients. Mix them into the wet ingredients. Be careful not to overmix at this step. Keep the mixer on its lowest speed. Finally, fold in the chopped peaches. 
  • Bake: Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin liners to about ¾ full. Put in the oven for 20-22 minutes. Stick a toothpick in the center of one of the muffins to make sure they’re done baking. If it comes out without any batter on the toothpick then the muffins are done baking.

VARIATIONS ON PEACH MUFFINS

  • Sweetener: To replace the regular white sugar or brown sugar in this recipe you can use maple syrup or coconut sugar as the sweetener. 
  • Gluten-free: For dietary needs, you can make Gluten-Free Peach Muffins. Just replace the flour with almond flour, oat flour, buckwheat flour, or arrowroot flour. 
  • Fruit: Along with the peaches in the recipe you can mix in other fruits like raspberries, cranberries, or blueberries.

  1. Delicious, I just added some blueberries and used just 1/2 cup of brown sugar and no white sugar. It was the perfect amount of sugar and healthier for a toddler to eat. Thank you!

    1. So delicious!
      I did make slight change, I had a jar of peach jam that didn’t seal so I added that instead of peaches..so good!
      I omitted 1/2 cup sugar as the jam already has sugar
      Definitely be making this again

  2. These muffins are good. I didn’t have vanilla extract and they were still slightly sweet because of the fresh peaches. I will definitely make them again.

  3. Can you make this in a loaf pan as a bread ? An can I use self rising flour so I don’t have to use the baking soda ? Going to try this for our family week vacation to the lake for everyone to snack on… it looks delicious

    1. Yes to both questions and let us know how it turns out. Hope you enjoy your vacation!

  4. These are wonderful! Used fresh Texas peaches! I did try to freeze a couple, hope that works, they are so moist, I’m not sure. But the taste and texture is awesome!

  5. Very good, I used frozen Colorado Palisade peaces from last years season and they came out great. I will definitly make this recipe again.

  6. Made these today and doubled tge recipe. Awesomeness! Will be making these again. I might sprinkle a little raw sugar on top sometime, just to dress them up a little.

  7. Outstanding. Love the recipe. Nice and moist. We had a bumper crop of peaches last year and I used this recipe to make a batch of peach muffins as we had leftover from our peach jam.

    1. I’m sure you can use whole wheat flour, as for the maple syrup, I’m not too sure how that would affect the recipe.

  8. I used Maple Syrup and coconut oil and my dry ingredients was 1 1/2 cup bisquick.
    OMGosh these are amazing. (I used my neighbors home grown peaches) So good!!!

  9. I doubled this recipe and used 2 cups peaches and 1 cup raspberries (both fresh and chopped small). They are out of this world! The best muffins I have ever tasted! I’ve made them twice in one week and have gifted some. Everyone raves about how delicious they are.

  10. Wow, peaches! This Peach muffin recipe is best for breakfast when you’re on the go for work and also for snacks with my friends and family. Thanks for the recipe!
