Blueberry Peach Muffins
Description
The Blueberry Peach Muffin recipe incorporates mashed banana and applesauce to add natural sweetness and moisture without excess oil or butter. Cinnamon adds a warm spice element which complements the fresh diced peaches and blueberries mixed throughout the batter. Chopped walnuts contribute a crunchy contrast. The dry ingredients include baking powder and baking soda for leavening and salt for balance.
The mixture is stirred just to combine, preserving tender crumb texture by avoiding overmixing that could develop gluten and create density or gummyness. Baked at 350°F, the muffins cook through in about 30 minutes, confirmed by a clean toothpick test. The moist fruits release juices that keep these muffins soft and satisfying.
These muffins suit a morning meal or a wholesome snack, bringing together stone fruit and berries with cinnamon and nuts for a harmonious flavor combination. They are an appealing way to use seasonal peaches and blueberries.
To maintain the best texture, avoid overmixing the batter and lightly pat juicy peach pieces dry before mixing. Adjust sugar according to fruit sweetness preferences. Using finely diced peaches helps prevent sinking and uneven moisture.
Ingredients
- 1 banana peeled and mashed, ripe
- ¾ cup applesauce
- 1 or 1 ¼ cup sugar (depending on your sweetness preference)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup canola oil
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 cups peach fresh, diced
- 1 ½ cups blueberries fresh or frozen
- 1 cup walnuts chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a muffin pan.
- In a large bowl, blend the banana, applesauce, sugar, oil, and vanilla. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; mix just to combine. Stir in the peaches, blueberries and walnuts. Pour the batter into the prepared muffin pans, filling ¾ of each cup.
- Place them into the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes. Check to see if it’s fully baked by placing a toothpick or fork into the middle of the muffin. If it comes out clean, it’s finished. If it has batter on it, bake for another 5 minutes.
Notes
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep muffins light and tender.
- Adjust sugar amounts based on the sweetness of your fruit and personal taste.
- If peaches are very juicy, pat them dry with paper towels before adding to the batter to reduce excess moisture.
- Use finely diced peaches to prevent sinking to the muffin bottoms and to evenly distribute moisture.
