Ingredients

  • 1½ cups pastry/cake flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar (lightly packed)
  • 10 tablespoons oil (vegetable or melted butter)

  • 1 large egg yolk (room temperature)
  • 1 cup chopped peaches
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 400F (200C), grease and flour or line muffin tin with paper liners (this recipe makes 8 muffins).
  • Whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Beat the sugars, oil, egg and egg yolk together in a separate bowl. Add to the flour mixture and stir just until combined (about 14 or 15 stirs). Fold in chopped peaches.
  • Spoon muffin batter into the prepared muffin cups. Bake for 5 minutes then lower the heat to 350F (180C), continue to bake for approximately 12-15 minutes, check for doneness with a toothpick. Let cool for about 5-10 minutes in the pan then move to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Notes

If you find the batter extremely thick (it will be thick) add 1-2 tablespoons of milk. 

Crumble topping (optional)

  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar (55g)
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon butter softened
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped nuts
In a small bowl combine the sugar and flour cut in the butter until the mixture resembles large crumbs, then stir in the nuts. Top the muffins before baking.
How to Store: Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days.
They can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days, but I find that tends to dry them out. To freshen them up, pop a muffin in the microwave for 15 to 30 seconds.
For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer safe bag or container for up to 3 months and thaw at room temperature.
