Peach and Blueberry Muffins

August 12, 2015 by Judy Leave a Comment

A wholesome breakfast muffin recipe filled with fresh blueberries and chunks of peaches, flavored with cinnamon & nutmeg, and baked to perfection with butter, brown sugar, eggs and flour.

I’ve been waiting all summer for fresh peaches. Pennsylvania grocery stores offer peaches year round, but they do not compare to local fresh fruits in the summer that are juicy and sweet the day you buy them. I knew I wanted to try a new muffin recipe once the seasonal peaches appeared and so I waited. Now it’s August and the peaches are here!

I  had fresh blueberries in the fridge too, so I combined these two delicious fruits for a wholesome, delicious muffin that can be enjoyed for breakfast or an anytime snack. I found a strawberry muffin recipe from Ina Garten online that looked easy, so I started with that.

I recommend using cupcake liners for these muffins. Because they are filled with fruit, they may stick easily to your pans. I tried a few without liners and they did not make it out in one piece despite lots of non-stick spray. These are super travel muffins, so a liner is helpful anyways to pack a lunch or take along for a later snack.

Peaches and blueberries are two favorite fruits of mine, but you could substitute blackberries, raspberries, or just all peaches. Best of all, this is a one bowl recipe! No mixer required either, just a spatula or wooden spoon and a large mixing bowl.

The blueberries can be added to the batter whole, the peaches should be washed, peeled and cut into small chunks. Pieces the size of a canned pineapple chunk are close to the size that I used when cutting up the peaches. I used 2 large peaches for this recipe and 1/2 cup blueberries.

I ended up with 24 muffins with this recipe. My pans are on the small side, measuring 2 3/4 inches in diameter, so you may get a few less depending on how large your pans measure. Use an ice cream or cookie scoop for easy and pretty muffins. Try not to overfill as they can be messy if the fruit boils over.

I sprinkled the muffins with a bit of sugar after they came out of the oven, but you could eliminate that step. I like the sparkle, but there is plenty of sugar in these muffins without the added sprinkle. These muffins keep so well, you can freeze for later snacks. Because of the fresh fruit, I would freeze or store in the refrigerator if not eating within 24 hours.

I hope you enjoy this easy summer muffin recipe!
