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
- Peach juice - just a bit of the liquid the peaches are packed in
- All-purpose flour
- Brown sugar - for the batter and for sprinkling on top of the muffins
- Eggs
- Milk
- Cinnamon
- Vanilla
- Baking powder and baking soda
Step by step directions
- Combine flour, baking powder,baking soda, salt cinnamon and brown sugar in a bowl
- In a separate bowl combine egg, oil, peach juice,milk and vanilla
- Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients
- Add chopped peaches
- Stir muffin batter just until peaches are mixed into batter
- Place in greased muffin tins and top with a sprinkling of brown sugar and bake in a preheated 375° oven for 20-22 minutes.
Tips for making muffins
- Don't overmix the batter. Stir just until the flour is combined with the wet ingredients
- Use a nonstick spray or line the muffin tins with paper muffin liners.
- Dice your peaches into small bits
- Reserve some of the peach juice to add to the batter
- Use a scoop to get consistent sized muffins
- Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven
- Allow muffins to cool for 5 minutes in pan. Remove from pan and continue cooling on a baking rack.
- Store cooled muffins in an airtight container.
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.

Can you use whole wheat flour or oatmeal?
Kathy says
Hi Bev,
You can use whole wheat flour, but you might also need to add 2-4 teaspoons of additional liquid to make certain they don't become too dry. Adding oatmeal would be delicious, but would really change the consistency of the batter.
Enjoy!

Oh dear!!! You are so right, I left out the most important ingredient - the peaches! You need one cup of chopped peaches. I've adjusted the recipe so it's now included. I bake in a preheated 375 degree oven. Thanks for letting me know and happy baking!
