Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups buttermilk
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and diced
• 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the diced fresh peaches, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Fill each cup about three-fourths full.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with coarse sugar for added texture and sweetness.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy your fresh peach muffins warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
