Blueberry Peach Muffins

Thursday, September 3, 2009

Hubby and I were getting ready to leave for vacation and I wanted to do some baking (shocking, I know!) I decided to make some muffins since they travel well. I had seen this recipe on Katie’s blog and it instantly made me think of the spiced peach jam I made for Steph Chow’s Jam Exchange. When it came time to bake these muffins, I decided to use up an extra pint of blueberries we had in the fridge instead of adding a cut up peach.

These muffins were delicious! Hubby said they’re the best muffins I’ve ever made, and I make muffins on a regular basis. They were extremely moist and the peach and blueberry flavors go well together.

Blueberry Peach Muffins

Yield: 12 muffins

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup flour, sifted
3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
1/2 cup spiced peach preserves - I used my peach jam
1/3 cup milk
2 Tbsp plain yogurt
1 egg
1 pint blueberries

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a muffin tin with paper cups.

In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and whisk to combine.

In medium bowl, combine preserves, milk, yogurt, egg, and whisk to combine well.

Mix wet ingredients into dry until just combined.

Fold in blueberries and spoon equally into 12 muffin cups.

Place muffins into oven and bake for 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.

Let cool completely before serving.

Sorry – I updated the recipe to reflect that I used dried cranberries in place of the raisins.

Looks just delicious! I’m crazy lately about cranberries too. Talk about a versatile fruit! I just used them this evening to make a cranberry-apple conserve that served as the sauce for almond-crusted pork tenderloin. It was a big hit.

I also wonder if you can use fresh cranberries since they are in season!

You could definitely make this with fresh cranberries if you wanted.

How long did you bake this if you halved it in a 8 by 8 pan? So excited to try it 🙂

I think I started checking it at 30 minutes and left it in for about 45 based on the color of the top layer.

Me again. It is DELICIOUS! I halved the recipe and used 1 cup of fresh cranberries, though I think I could have used more.

Thanks so much!

Glad to hear it Lisa! I will definitely have to try this with fresh cranberries next time I make it.
