I know that using a nice fresh peach might make for an even more flavorful muffin, but the best I had were frozen peaches slices which I thawed, then diced, & followed the recipe on down after that! Still made for some very nice tasting muffins! All but four of them (kept for the 2 of us) were included with several other varieties of muffins, to lure buyers into our area during a park-wade garage sale recently! Worked, too! Thanks for sharing your recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's Pick A Chef event]
