Ingredients

Ingredients for Muffins:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup almond flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp cardamom
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp allspice
  • 1/8 tsp ginger
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
  • ½ cup plain, vanilla, or coconut Greek yogurt, room temperature
  • 2 tbsp milk, room temperature (mixed with ¼ tsp lemon juice and let sit 5 minutes before using)
  • 1½ tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp pure almond extract
  • 1 1/3 cups peaches, peeled, and cut into ¼” - ½” pieces (apx. 2-3 peaches, depending on their size)
  • ½ cup chopped pecans

Ingredients for Crumble Topping (Optional):

  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2½ tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/8 tsp ginger
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • 3 tbsp melted and cooled butter

Instructions

Method for Muffins:

  1. Set out eggs, yogurt, and whole milk to bring them to room temperature.
  2. Melt the butter needed for the crumble topping. Cool.
  3. Position oven rack in center of oven and preheat oven to 475°F.
  4. Prepare muffin tray by spraying each muffin cup with non-stick cooking spray or greasing individually, ensuring the top of the muffin tin tray is also well-greased/sprayed. Alternatively, the muffin cups can be lined with paper liners.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices together. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Set aside.
  6. In medium-sized bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, sugars, eggs, yogurt, milk, and vanilla and almond extracts.
  7. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir only until barely incorporated. Do not overmix. Gently fold in the peaches and pecans. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each cup almost to the rim.

Method for Crumble Topping:

  1. To make crumble topping, whisk all dry ingredients in bowl and drizzle with the 3 tbsp cool melted butter. Use a fork to toss the dry ingredients with the butter. Mixture will appear dry and crumbly. Sprinkle tops of muffins with crumble topping.
  2. Transfer muffins to oven and immediately reduce the oven temperature to 375°F. Bake for 23-25 minutes or until muffins are just firm to the touch and a cake tester inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  3. Let muffins rest in muffin cups for 5-10 minutes then transfer to wire rack to finish cooling. Muffins freeze well.
