Peach Muffins - Recipe

You know the first time I heard of peach muffins was this year and I thought to myself ewww. I dunno why but I guess it was the fact that it was peaches in a muffin. Peach cobbler – alright! Peach ice cream – you beacha but muffins?!

Well, last night I needed to do something with all of the peaches we have in this house before they go bad. I sifted through six cookbooks last night, reading off recipes to dh and when I said, “Peach Muffins” he said, “sounds good.”

So, peach muffins it was.

You know, these are really good, I mean really good.

When you first bite into a muffin you first taste the peach and then the almond comes in behind to round out the flavor.

Oh so good!

I changed the amount of sugar from what was stated in the original recipe. They were not sweet at all, which I really like. I have a star next to the sugar amount if you would rather use all sugar and not Splendid in your recipe.

Give these a try; I think you are going to really enjoy them!
