Servings: 12 muffins
Calories: 176kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups gluten free flour , or oat flour (280 grams)
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- ¼ cup unsalted butter , melted
- 1 cup peaches , chopped
Instructions
- Generously butter a muffin tin. Preheat the oven to 375℉.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 ½ cups gluten free flour , 3 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon fine sea salt, and ½ cup brown sugar. Lightly whisk the 1 large egg separately, then stir in the beaten egg, 1 cup plain yogurt, and ¼ cup unsalted butter. Gently fold in the 1 cup peaches.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin tin (fill each cup about two-thirds full). and let the batter rest for up to 20 minutes. Bake the muffins for 15-20 minutes, until a tester comes out clean.
- Place the muffin tin on a wire rack to cool for about 10 minutes, then gently turn out the muffins onto the rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Fresh or frozen peaches. I prefer to use fresh peaches here, but you can use frozen if needed. Thaw them a little bit first so that you can chop them up before adding them to the batter.
- Grease the pan well. Generously grease the muffin tin to help the muffins release easily. You can also use liners if you prefer.
- Rest the batter. Always let gluten-free batter rest before baking - the amount of time it takes to preheat the oven usually is enough - to hydrate the gluten-free flour. You will taste the difference!
- Fill the muffin cups about ⅔ full for this recipe. I’ve found that about ⅔ full per cup is the sweet spot for the batter so that the muffins rise nicely but don’t overflow the pan.
- Make them dairy-free. To make these muffins dairy-free, use melted coconut oil or non-dairy butter, plus a non-dairy yogurt.
- Refined sugar-free. Add honey to the batter instead of the sugar for a lovely, floral sweetness that's a wonderful complement to the peaches. Or, try coconut sugar or maple syrup.
