Peach Buttermilk Muffins – Recipe!

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Peaches are in season only a few months of the year and I consider them to be one of summertime’s most fabulous fruit.  Peaches are so delicately sweet and taste delicious in so many recipes like salads, pies, crisps and breakfast treats.  I’m always trying to create more recipes that utilize peaches during this time of year because I don’t want to miss out on their fresh taste.

Whether your peaches are white or yellow, the true test of a good peach is ripeness.  When baking with fruit, you don’t always want the softest peach, but you do want it ripe enough so the sweet flavors come through.  When buying peaches, be careful not to overly squeeze them because they do bruise easily, preserving their flesh is important.

In this muffin recipe, I prepared a basic batter with just a hint of cinnamon because I think most things are better with a pinch of cinnamon, and it makes the fruit pop.  These muffins are not only delightful to eat, but the aroma in your kitchen after baking will make your day.  I find myself not only enjoying these muffins for breakfast or brunch, but during the afternoon as a snack with a cup of iced tea.
