Peach Blueberry Muffins
I am SO glad it is the weekend. What a week! I know I know…I say that ALL the time. But this week…really, what a frekkin’ week. Between SUPER DUPER stress at work from being gone from traveling and interviewing for positions and then getting in an accident. Just need a break! So I cannot tell you how happy I am that I am getting some much needed rest. So nice to be able to not do anything sometimes you know?
This weekend will be full of football watching (Go PSU, Chiefs, and Steelers!) and baking I am sure. I have this recipe I want to try that I am really looking forward to sharing with you guys. Hopefully it will be a good one.
The one I am sharing with you today is for more peachy goodness!! If I could I would hand out a pint to each of you of the Peachy Paterno you can find at Penn State. Don’t hate, we are corny! haha
Ingredients for Muffins:
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons flaxmeal
- 1 tablespoon toasted wheat germ
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup skim milk
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup peeled and diced fresh peaches
For topping:
- 2 teaspoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Preheat oven to 450º
Grease your muffin pan OR line them with paper liners. Whichever you prefer.
In a large bowl, stir together flours, sugar, brown sugar, flaxmeal, wheat germ, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs, milk and 1/2 cup melted butter until well blended. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just moist.
Fold in the blueberries and the peaches. **don’t forget the trick I taught you with the blueberries by lightly flouring them before you put them into the batter, will help them not all sink to the bottom of the batter when in the muffin pan**. Take your topping sugar and cinnamon and combine in a small bowl. Lightly sprinkle each muffin with the cinnamon sugar.
Fill muffin cups with batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the tops spring back when lightly touched. Cool in pans over a wire rack.

Super good and pretty good for you too! I love muffins. They are one of those things I think I could eat all the time. The possibilities are endless for the kinds you can make. I love foods like that!
Anyways, have a great weekend everyone! Hope it is as relaxing as mine!

You poor thing! You did have a heck of a week. Hope the accident wasnt anything serious. These muffins do look like the perfect way to unwind and relax a little!

Bad week, indeed. Hope the accident wasn’t anything serious. I’d like a muffin a with a cup of coffee.

This is a great recipe – finally, a muffin that’s pretty good for you too! I’m really tired of seeing all those chocolaty, cakey, sugary things that claim to be “muffins” – they’re really just cupcakes without frosting! But this little treat of yours is something special! I’m sure I can turn it vegan too!
