Peaches & Cream Muffins

Prep Time 10 mins
Cook Time 20 mins
Total Time 30 mins
Servings 6 Large Muffins

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh peaches peeled and chopped
  • Cinnamon and sugar-for sprinkling on muffins before baking

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 6 tablespoons cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line muffin tins with paper liners (or grease well if you don't have liners) & set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon. Whisk in the sugar. In a separate medium bowl, mix canola oil, egg, milk, and vanilla together. Use a fork or whisk and combine well. Slowly incorporate the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, being sure to not overmix. The batter will be thick.
  • Carefully fold in the peaches.
  • In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, sugar, and cinnamon together, until creamy and smooth. Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter. Next, add a small spoonful of cream cheese filling to each muffin cup. Cover the cream cheese filling with the remaining batter. Sprinkle each muffin with cinnamon and sugar.
  • Bake muffins for 17-20 minutes, or until muffins are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Remove the muffins from the pan and let cool on a cooling rack.

Notes

You can replace the cream cheese, milk, and eggs with plant-based substitutes & make the muffins healthier.  Try a banana instead of eggs!
