Grain Free Peach Muffins

A couple weeks ago, Mike and I harvested our peach tree.  The squirrels and the crows were eating so many every day and selfishly, we wanted them all for ourselves (haha), so we picked them.  We had 2 5-gallon buckets full of wonderful and delicious peaches!  We canned a bunch, made peach preserves, and then used the seeds and peels to make jelly.  Yuuuuummm!  (sung like an opera singer)   :)

I'm working on a biscuit recipe that I will be posting soon that I can top with that yummy jelly and preserves (I ran out of ingredients and haven't made it all the way to the right store to restock, otherwise it would be posted already....just working out the cook time, so expect it soon).  Anyway, that's for another day......

Here are a few pictures of the fruits of our labor  :)

So, since we had all of this peach deliciousness going on, it was only fitting that I create something with peaches.  We were in need of breakfast this morning, so I came up with these muffins.  I hope you enjoy!!

Peach Muffins

2 c Almond Flour
1/2 c Coconut Flour
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Cardamom
1/8 tsp Ginger
6 Eggs
1/2 c Honey
1 tsp Vanilla
1 c sliced peaches, fresh or canned

Topping
2 Tbsp Butter, melted
2 Tbsp Almond Flour
2 Tbsp Coconut Sugar
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Cardamom
1/8 tsp Ginger


Preheat oven to 350 Degrees.

Line 12 muffin cups with parchment paper liners.  I like to use these (affiliate link).  They are wonderful!!

Measure out your sliced peaches, then chop into small pieces and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flours, baking soda, salt and spices. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey and vanilla.  You probably want to be careful because it likes to slosh out :)  Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir to combine.  Gently stir in peaches.

Using an ice cream scooper or a 1/4 cup measuring cup, fill muffin cups with the batter.

Make the topping by mixing all the topping ingredients except the butter together in a small bowl.

With a silicon brush, dab some of the butter on top of each muffin.  Then sprinkle with topping.  Feel free to use it all...I do :)  It's yummy!

Bake for 30-40 minutes.  Muffins should be firm but springy when they are done.  Enjoy!!!
