HOW TO MAKE VANILLA PEACH MUFFINS.
Makes 12 muffins
Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 25 minutes
Dry Ingredients
1 ½ cups (140g) ground almonds
2 ½ tbsp. coconut flour
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
½ tsp. baking soda
¼ tsp. salt
Wet Ingredients
2 eggs, beaten
4 tbsp. honey
2 tbsp. coconut oil, melted
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 medium peach, chopped
INSTRUCTIONS.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or use silicone muffin molds.
- Mix the dry ingredients – In a large bowl, combine the ground almonds, coconut flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
- Blend the wet ingredients – In another bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine – Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients using a spatula until everything is well incorporated. Be careful not to overmix!
- Add the peaches – Gently stir in the chopped peaches, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Portion the batter – Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cases, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake – Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool – Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before removing them from the liners.
- Enjoy – Serve warm, or store them in an airtight container for later!
TIPS FOR THE BEST VANILLA PEACH MUFFINS.
Use ripe peaches – The riper the peach, the sweeter and juicier the muffins will be. If fresh peaches aren’t available, you can use tinned ones—just be sure to drain them first.
Don’t overmix the batter – Stir just until combined to keep the muffins light and fluffy. Overmixing can result in a dense, chewy texture.
Try different variations – Swap the peaches for berries, add a handful of chopped nuts, or sprinkle coconut flakes on top before baking for extra crunch.
Store them properly – These muffins will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or in the fridge for up to a week. You can also freeze them for up to three months—just defrost at room temperature or warm them up in the microwave before eating.
HOW TO ENJOY THESE MUFFINS.
While these muffins are delicious on their own, here are a few ways to take them to the next level:
With a dollop of Greek yoghurt – The tanginess of Greek yoghurt pairs beautifully with the sweet peach flavour.
Drizzled with almond butter – A little nut butter adds healthy fats and extra creaminess.
As part of a balanced breakfast – Pair a muffin with hard boiled eggs and a smoothie for a nourishing start to your day.
Lightly toasted – Warm them up in the oven for a few minutes before serving for an even richer flavour.
