The peach craze continues. Sorry, I am on this peach kick. I can’t help it though. It is for a good cause. Our friend gave us a gorgeous box of peaches from his orchard and I wasn’t about to let them go to waste. So I’ve made peach fruit leather, peach pie, peach salsa, and now Peach Almond Muffins.
I am so glad I didn’t give up on our peaches because these Peach Almond Muffins are incredible. They are the perfect breakfast treat!
The muffins are easy to make-you don’t even need a mixer, just good old-fashioned muscles. I combined Gold Medal Flour with the other dry ingredients in a bowl and whisked away. In a separate bowl, I whisked together the liquid ingredients. I combined the two, added in the peaches, and made the almond streusel topping. Easy like Sunday morning! And don’t skip the streusel topping, it makes the muffins marvelous!
I love that these muffins can be whipped up in a matter of minutes, which makes them great for the morning. I know I am not always in the mood to bake first thing in the morning, but because these are so easy, I want to make them every day. And after you taste them, you will want to enjoy Peach Almond Muffins every morning too!
And good news-I think these muffins taste just as good the second day. So no need to force yourself to eat them all in one day. Savor the Peach Almond Muffins. They go perfectly with a cup of coffee, tea, or glass of milk. Enjoy!
Peach Almond Muffins
Ingredients
- For the Muffins:
- 2 1/4 cups Gold Medal all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 1/2 cups diced peeled peaches
- For the Almond Streusel Topping:
- 1/4 cup Gold Medal all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 14 muffin cups with paper liners or grease the cups. Set pan aside.
- 2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Set aside.
- 2. In a small bowl, whisk together egg, canola oil, buttermilk, vanilla, and almond extract. Pour liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix gently with a spatula. Mix until just combined. Gently stir in the peaches.
- 3. To make the almond streusel topping, in a small bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and butter. Mix with your hands until you have a crumbly mixture. It is ok to have pea size chunks of butter. Mix in the sliced almonds.
- 4. Pour muffin batter evenly into prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle the almond streusel topping on top of the muffins. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let muffins cool to room temperature and serve.
- Note-I think these muffins taste just as good on the second day!

Oooh the topping looks so scrumptious!
Peaches and muffins are the epitome of Fall! Love it!
These look amazing, my peaches aren’t looking very good lately. You are lucky you still have sweet peaches near you.
Just how I’d like to wake up in the morning… with a big batch of these beauties.
Don’t be sorry for making another peach recipe. Keep the peach recipes coming. These muffins look delish!
These look just perfect! I think I am going to make similar ones with apples instead. Mmm, I do love peaches this time of year though!
oh these are to die for!

This is one of my all time favorite flavor combos, I love that you combined them in a muffin!
I love a good muffin recipe! These look decadent!
Something that I like of making muffins is that we don’t need a mixer, we just need a strong spatula and as you said, strong muscles. Love this recipe, in fact I love all muffins that are made with fresh fruit.
Peaches are in season and they are SO delish right now – I can’t get enough! Will be giving this recipe a go. Thanks for the post.
Love everything you’ve been doing with peaches this season! I love the combination of almond and peaches. Bravo!
These look absolutely amazing! Do you think using canned peaches would be ok if you adjusted for the sugar?
I made these for my husband and four kids for our new tradition of muffins for Saturday morning breakfast, and they were a huge hit! These were voted unanimously as the favorite muffins since starting our new tradition (sometime in late August). Great recipe!
I love your blog! You come up with the most creative recipes. I’m always trying to figure out ways to incorporate fruits into muffins, and this is perfect. I will be making this one very soon.
These sound incredible!! Love the almonds.
I made these before for a friend and she loved them. Today, I made them for my visiting in-laws. However, since it’s been too hot to want to turn the oven on, I looked up how to bake using my outdoor gas grill. It worked perfectly. This ripe was a hit with everyone! Thank you Maria!
Awesome! Good to know!
