Muffins with canned peaches
I bake a lot of muffins. They are fast and easy and loved by my family.
Usually when I make muffins I use fresh or frozen fruit like in these blackberry muffins. But for these peach muffins I used canned peaches.
You can use your own homemade canned peaches or store bought canned peaches. You can even buy those little lunch box sized containers with the peaches already chopped.
These muffins are moist, delicious and full of peach flavor.
The beauty of making muffins with canned peaches is you can enjoy peach muffins all year long!
Key ingredients
- Canned peaches - any kind will do, but avoid peaches with artificial sweeteners

Tips for making muffins

Recipe Faqs
Each oven is calibrated differently. Often times you may set your oven to 375 degrees and it may only reach 370 degrees or may go up to 380 degrees.
If an oven isn't fully preheated, it will affect the baking time. In addition, each kitchen temperature is different and if your ingredients are cold, it will take a bit longer to cook. Finally the muffin tin itself will affect cooking times.
A darker tin will promote a slightly faster cook time.
Always check your muffins at the lower recommended cook time. If needed, continue baking for an additional 1-2 minutes.
I use two methods to determine when my muffins are baked through.
Finger touch method: Touch muffins lightly on top of the muffin with one finger. The muffin should spring back when touched. Use caution with this method so you don't get burned.
Toothpick test: Insert a toothpick into the center of the muffin. Pull out toothpick and inspect. If the toothpick is clean or just has a few crumbs, the muffin is done.
