Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups diced peaches (about 2 medium peaches)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix – a few lumps are okay.
Gently fold in the diced peaches until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
