Let me first say, yes, another peach recipe. I bought all those peaches at the end of my Peach Man’s season and I need to make something quick before they all go bad. So yes, another peach recipe.
After all, it's September and peaches are still available in the stores. And these muffins are full of peaches in every bite with wholesome ingredients so you know you're starting your day off right!
I used a whole grain, whole wheat flour, fresh peaches, coconut sugar, organic brown sugar, spices, and coconut milk. The result are these amazing peach breakfast muffins.
And I topped them off with a streusel. A healthier streusel made with oats, organic brown sugar, and cinnamon. Did you expect anything else from me?
Ok, I admit sometimes I do delve into my dark side of sugar laden sweets, but since I completed my Sugar Crush Challenge, I've been trying to make healthier sweet options. Thank you very much.
I think you'll agree with me that these Peach Breakfast Muffins lean on the healthier side of eating.
They're best warmed up and served with coffee or tea while watching your favorite morning news program so you can savor every bite. But if you're in a hurry, you can easily take them with you on the days you're rushing to work or school.
Just do one thing for me and try to savor each bite of peachy goodness. Because pretty soon here, peaches will disappear and everything (and I do mean everything) will be pumpkin spice.
