Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 large eggs

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups fresh peaches, diced (approximately 3 medium-sized peaches)

1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

1/4 cup brown sugar (for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a standard muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing each cup to prevent sticking.

    Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Ensure the ingredients are evenly combined to get a consistent batter.

      Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, crack the two eggs and beat them lightly. Then, add the melted butter (make sure it isn’t too hot), buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Whisk the mixture until it is smooth and well-incorporated.

        Incorporate Wet and Dry Mixtures: Carefully pour the wet mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. With a spatula or wooden spoon, stir gently until just combined. It’s important to avoid overmixing; it's okay if a few lumps remain in the batter.

          Add Peaches and Nuts: Carefully fold in the diced peaches along with the optional chopped pecans or walnuts until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

            Fill the Muffin Tin: Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, fill each muffin cup with batter, ensuring each is about two-thirds full to allow for rising.

              Add Topping: Sprinkle a small amount of brown sugar on the top of each muffin. This will create a delightful sweet and crunchy topping as they bake.

                Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of one muffin; it should come out clean when they are fully baked.

                  Cool the Muffins: Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes. Afterward, carefully transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your Peachy Delight Muffins while still warm or at room temperature. They make a perfect pairing with coffee or tea for breakfast or an afternoon snack!
