Peach Muffins (with Yogurt and without Butter)
Description
Peach Muffins with Yogurt and without Butter rely on flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, eggs, olive oil, and yogurt for a soft batter. Fresh peaches contribute natural moisture and flavor, while a topping of demerara or raw sugar adds subtle crunch and texture contrast after baking. The batter is combined carefully to avoid overmixing and dense muffins.
Baked at 350ºF until golden brown, these muffins have a lightly sweet, fruity aroma and a tender interior punctuated by soft peach pieces. They make a pleasant breakfast or snack option when served fresh.
Using good-quality ingredients enhances flavor and texture, particularly the flour and peaches. If Greek yogurt is used, adding a splash of milk or buttermilk helps maintain proper batter consistency.
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour (good quality)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 egg
- ½ cup olive oil light
- 1 cup yogurt (if using Greek yogurt, add 1 Tbsp milk or buttermilk)
- 1 ½ cups peach chopped, you can remove the skin, but I leave it on, fresh
- ½ tsp demerara sugar Sugar in the Raw or Swedish pearl sugar to top, if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF (175ºC).
- Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and a pinch of salt into a large bowl. Stir in the sugar. (Do not miss this step.)
- In a separate bowl or measuring jug, whisk together: eggs, olive oil, and yogurt, until smooth.
- Pour the yogurt mixture into the dry ingredients. Slowly fold the yogurt mixture into the dry ingredients in the large bowl, until just combined. DO NOT OVER STIR, it will make the muffins too dense.
- Gently stir in the mixed fruit, with just a few turns, then fill the muffins cups or greased and floured loaf tin. Sprinkle with a little Demerara, Swedish pearl sugar, or raw sugar if desired, for a crunchy top.
- Bake for about 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
- Use good quality flour and fresh peaches for the best muffin texture and flavor.
- If using Greek yogurt, add 1 tablespoon of milk or buttermilk to improve batter consistency.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep muffins tender and not dense.
