How to Make Chocolate Peach Muffins

Step One

The first thing you need to do is prepare your oven and tray: Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a muffin tray with baking paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step Two

Now, try mixing the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, sugar, and brown sugar. This ensures the ingredients are well combined and prevents lumps.

Step Three

Then mix the wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and yogurt until smooth. Mix the ingredients: Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to gently fold until well combined. Don’t overmix, or the muffins will be tough.

Step Four

Now, add the peaches: Carefully fold in the diced peaches so they don’t break up too much. The batter will look thick and slightly lumpy, which is perfect. Then, fill the muffin cups: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each cup about 3/4 full. This allows the muffins room to rise.

Step Five

Now, let’s start baking: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean. Finally, cool and enjoy: Let the muffins cool in the pan for at least 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor.

If using canned peaches, drain them very well before adding.

Frozen peaches should be thawed and patted dry to avoid extra water.

Don’t overmix the batter lumps are okay!

Add a pinch of nutmeg for a cozy flavor.
