When are peaches in season?

A big factor of when any fruit or vegetable is in season or not is the climate. Peach season may occur anywhere between April and October.

In general, peach season is during the summer. Making now the perfect time to enjoy these peach muffins.

How do I know if a peach is ripe for baking?

There are three ways to tell if a peach is ripe:

  • Color: You will see a lot of red on peaches. However, the color that you want to look out for is a deep golden yellow in the background of the red.
  • Feel: If the peach is firm to the touch or when you give it a light squeeze, it is not ready. However, when you give it a gently squeeze and can press and it feels softened with a slight give, it’s ready!
  • Appearance/texture: When a peach is ready to eat, it will have a slight wrinkly texture around the stem of the peach. this is the best way to tell if a peach is ripe to eat or use in baking!

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these muffins gluten free?

They can be! You just have to use Gluten Free All Purpose Flour instead of the Regular All Purpose Flour.

Can I swap peaches for any other fruit?

You could! However, there is always the possibility that a change will affect the consistency of the muffins.

If you have other stone fruits on hand, that should be a 1:1 swap that does not impact that consistency of the batter.

If you use frozen fruit, that may add too much water to the batter. I do not recommend using frozen fruit.

Do I need to cover the peaches in flour or cornstarch before adding to the batter?

Nope! You can add right to the batter after dicing.

How should I store these muffins?

Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or in the fridge for 5 days.

Can I freeze these muffins?

Freeze in a freezer-safe container or Ziplock bag for up to 2 months.
