Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons kosher salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cups milk
• 2 units large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh peach, diced
• 0.5 cups cooked and crumbled bacon
• 0.25 cups chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the diced peach, crumbled bacon, and pecans (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your Georgia Breakfast Muffins!
