Blueberry Peach Muffins

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 - Adapted from - Good Things Catered - makes 121 1/2 c. all purpose flour, sifted
3/4 c. sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
1/2 c. spiced peach preserves - I used my peach jam
1/3 c. milk
2 Tbsp plain yogurt
1 egg
1 pint blueberries

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.

Isn't it the BEST feeling when your husband says they love something?? Especially when you make things all the time.

I am a huge fan of blueberry muffins but adding peach might be a new twist on an old favorite. Looks great!

OOOh, that sounds great! I always make blueberry muffins-we all love them and recently made my first (!) peach pie! I can just imagine how good that must be!

Blueberry and Peach? How Cool!? I love to find different combinations that are not the every day norm! Thanks for sharing this one!!

Wow that looks delish! I actually have some peach jam I need to finish up myself. Is it really tender enough without any butter or oil?

Jen said...

Yes Xiaolu - They're very tender and moist

Erin said...

Yum! Peach and blueberry are great together! I bet my husband would like these too.

Katie said...

You are SO great with flavor combinations!! I LOVE this idea!! I'm glad you liked the recipe, but I'm sure the AMAZZING part of them came from your awesome personal twist! YUM!
