Ingredients:
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk (or almond milk)
- 1½ cups fresh or canned peaches, peeled and chopped
- ½ cup sliced almonds (plus extra for topping)
- Optional: 1 tablespoon honey for drizzling
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin.
- Mix the dry ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Mix the wet ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients:
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins tough.
- Fold in the peaches and almonds:
- Gently fold in the chopped peaches and sliced almonds. The batter should be thick and filled with peach chunks.
- Fill the muffin cups:
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full. Sprinkle extra sliced almonds on top of each muffin for added crunch.
- Bake the muffins:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
- Cool and serve:
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle with honey just before serving.
Enjoy these delicious and moist Peach & Almond Muffins as a perfect way to start your day or as a sweet afternoon snack!
