The Best Peach Nectarine Muffins Recipes

NECTARINE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or nonstick cooking spray or line with paper cups. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir with a large spoon until just combined. (Make sure to scrape all the flour up off the bottom of the bowl.) Gently fold in the diced nectarines. Divide batter between the 12 muffin cups. (A mechanical ice cream scoop works great for this.) The cups will be almost completely full. Bake at 375 degrees for about 25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. After a few minutes, remove muffins from pan and let cool on a wire rack.

PEACH MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin. Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat and set aside. Mix flour, baking powder and salt in medium bowl. In another bowl, whisk the egg, then add the sugar. Whisk until thick and thoroughly mixed. Continue to whisk, adding the milk and melted butter. Add the sour cream and stir to combine. Fold the egg mixture into the flour mixture until well combined. Add the chopped peaches and stir until just combined.
• Drop tablespoons of the batter into the muffin tins until half full. Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean. Cool muffins in tins for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to finish cooling. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

PEACH COBBLER MUFFINS

Steps:

• For the topping: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 18 cups of 2 standard muffin tins with cooking spray or line with paper liners.
• Stir the pecans, flour, brown sugar, melted butter and cinnamon together in a medium bowl to form a thick batter. Set aside to firm up slightly.
• For the muffins: Whisk the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg and salt together in a separate medium bowl. Whisk the granulated sugar, buttermilk, vegetable oil, sour cream, egg and vanilla extract together in a large bowl until smooth. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet until no flour streaks remain, then fold in the chopped peaches.
• Fill the prepared muffin cups about three-quarters of the way with the batter, a scant 1/4 cup each. Top each muffin with a slice of peach and some pecan crumble topping. Bake until muffins are golden brown and spring back when gently touched, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
