Mmm, muffins...

I had some leftover peaches from the farmer's market that were about to go bad, so I made these (in lieu of prepping for Monday's classes, natch). I recommend them.

Peach Nut Muffins

Preheat oven to 400 F (approx. 200 C, I think?)

Peel and chop peaches -- about two cups or so, ideally.

Mix wet and dry ingredients in separate bowls:

3 cups flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1 tbsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. salt

3 eggs
1 1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup milk
peaches
1 cup walnuts (optional, but what recipe isn't improved by nuts?)

Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture, pour in the egg/peach/nut mixture. Stir together, spoon into muffin cups, bake about 25 minutes.

Makes about two dozen muffins, and they are sooo good. I want to try this with other kinds of fruit, as well.

Unless you're allergic to them, of course. :) Aside from the nuts, it sounds really good!

If you have any peaches left over, this cake is great with them instead of (or in addition to!) raspberries. I made it for our family dinner last night (swapping in applesauce for half of the oil and drizzling icing made from icing/confectioners sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice and a little hot water over the top).

Thanks. When you get peaches from the farmer's market, you get a LOT of them, so I think I will have much use for peach recipes...
