Not only are these muffins fantastic, but they are fantastically easy to make.
I got the recipe from Taste of Home’s Family Collection Cookbook. I, of course, tweaked it. First off all, the recipe called for milk or sour cream. I had neither so I used Greek yogurt (which worked wonderfully). I also make a substitution for the baking powder to make it a corn-free recipe. Here are the ingredients:
1 egg
1/2 cup milk or sour cream or Greek yogurt or I suppose you could use regular plain or vanilla yogurt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder BUT to make this CORN-FREE (if you love me you’ll do this), use 1 teaspoon cream of tartar and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda instead of those 2 teaspoons of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped fresh or frozen peaches, thawed
Beat together egg, milk (or sour cream or yogurt) and oil. Taste of Home recommends doing this action in a bowl. I take the Libertarian route and say you can use what you want, but you’re responsible for all consequences. In a separate bowl or bowl-like container combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt. Then stir your dry mixture into your egg mixture until it is moistened. I found that it wasn’t moist enough for my liking, so I added a little bit more yogurt. You don’t want it too moist though because when you add the peaches it will give you a little more liquid. And that brings me to the next step, add the peaches. Grease or line your muffin tin and fill the cups around 3/4 full. This should make you 9-10 muffins. Bake at 400 degrees (Fahrenheit) for 20-25 minutes or until the insides aren’t gooey anymore. You should probably let them cool too, but like I said, do what you want as long as you’re willing to live with the consequences.
The music I listened to while making these was Zach Williams’ Story Time album. He has sort of a Southern Rock/Pop groove going. The first two tracks “Names That Fell” and “James” are my favorites right now. You can check him out at ZachWilliams.com.
