Mother’s Day Peach Muffins

by | Home, Payton's Pastries

Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and my siblings and I want to do a lot of really cool things for my mom because she is an amazing person and my role model. I am so thankful for her and I want to show her that especially this month and this week.
One thing that I want to do for her that I thought I would share with you is a breakfast in bed. I mean, what mom wouldn’t like a breakfast in bed? So I am going to make some delicious peach breakfast muffins.
Now, when I think of a muffin, the first flavor that comes to mind isn’t exactly peaches, but they are actually super good! Peaches are really good to use in baking because cutting, peeling, and pitting them goes by in a breeze. They have a nice fresh, fruity taste that tastes super good in the muffins.
This recipe is super simple with easy-to-follow directions. I got it from Allrecipes, a really good website where people can share their favorite recipes. There has been literally nothing that I can’t find on this website!

Ingredients:

 

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups vegetable oil  (I found my batter to be a little thick, so you might want to add a little more than this)
  • 3 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 2 cups peeled, pitted, and chopped peaches
 

Instructions:

 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease the bottoms and sides of 16 muffin cups, or line with paper liners.(Tip: If you do use these for Mother’s Day, you could get some cute muffin liners saying “I love you, Mom” or something that she enjoys!)

  • In a large bowl, mix the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. You can set it aside for now. In a smaller bowl, mix the oil, eggs and sugar. I would suggest starting out with the eggs and beating those up a little bit so that they are more liquid-y (is that a word?!?). Stir the oil mixture into the flour mixture just until moist. If you have an electric mixer, you can use the paddle attachment. Fold in the peaches. Make sure they are bite-size, or you will be eating peaches with muffin, not muffin with peaches! Spoon into the prepared cups.

  • Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before turning out onto wire racks to cool completely.

I hope you have a lot of fun making these muffins. I enjoyed making these creations in the kitchen, and I hope my mom likes them when I give them to her for Mother’s Day!

You could serve these with a lot of things, but I think I am going to make her an omelet with all of the things that she loves in one on it. You could also make a little paper that says, “I would be ‘muffin’ without you!” and put the muffin in place of the word ‘muffin’.  Try this link for a printable card!

 

 

These turned out so good; I hope yours taste good, too, and that your mom likes them too! I hope you have a beautiful day and a great week!

 

Happy Baking,
