Peach Oatmeal Muffins

Submitted by momaphet

"This muffin is simple, flavorful, and moist. Using whole wheat pastry flour and oats also make them a fairly healthy start to the day. If you substitute blueberries for the peaches add a 1/4 tsp of cloves. I like a lot of spice and use the higher amounts given."

 

• Ready In: 28mins
• Ingredients: 13
• Yields: 12 muffins

ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) can peaches, drain and diced small
• 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour, see note
• 3⁄4 cup sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
• 3⁄4 - 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1⁄4 - 1⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1⁄4 - 1⁄2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 cup oatmeal, old fashioned or 1 cup quick oats, not instant
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1⁄4 cup oil

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Mix together dry ingredients, stir in oats and peaches.
3. Mix together eggs, oil and milk, stir into flour and mix gently just until flour is incorporated; don't over mix lumpy is ok.
4. Pour into greased muffin cups - I dislike muffin papers - don't grease if you use them.
5. Bake 15- 18 minutes until done and muffin springs bake when lightly touched.
6. Note: Whole wheat pastry flour is easily found in most health food stores and some grocers, King Arthur White Wheat Flour is also good. Both of these give your muffins a lighter texture while still providing good nutrition.
7. If using blueberries use about 1 1/2 cups.

Have to make these muffins again soon! Love all the spices with the peaches and great texture with the oatmeal. Thinking about blackberries now! Made and reviewed for Susie D's World Tour.

I used the canned peaches and full measure of the spices, they turned out to be a pure delight. Even super picky DH ate 2 and said that he'll be back for more after dinner. Aside from using Splenda for the sugar I just followed the recipe on down and couldn't be more pleased with the result. Great texture and flavor, what more could you ask?

I am so pleased with how these turned out! I was a little skeptical about combining the warm fall spices and peaches, but they came out great. I used the low end of spices for these and next time I won't be shy about adding more. I used 1 cup white wheat and 1 cup spelt flours, and the combination led to a healthy muffin with a gorgeous fluffy texture. I used fresh peeled peaches (about 1 1/2 c), and used almond milk instead of cow's milk. I got 17 muffins out of the recipe, which makes these great for freezer cooking! Thanks for posting :). Made for ZWT 8: The Wild Bunch.

These were really good! I used 1C frozen peaches, 1t of cinnamon, 1/2t of nutmeg & skipped the ginger. I subbed applesauce for the oil and used the white whole wheat flour. Oh and I added 1/3c of white chocolate chips ~grin~. They did overflow the muffin tins a bit....I think I could have easily gotten 15 muffins out of this recipe. I'll freeze these for the kids to grab on their way out the door in the mornings. Thanks for sharing!

I made these this morning with peeled fresh peaches, 2 tsps of almond extract, 1 tsp of vanilla, and 3/4 cup 100% maple syrup substituted for the sugar (I don't eat white sugar). They are delicious!
