Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup buttermilk

1 1/2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Turbinado sugar for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare your muffin tin by either lining it with paper liners or greasing it generously with cooking spray.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Ensure that these dry ingredients are thoroughly combined for an even flavor.

      Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter (make sure it has cooled slightly), eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk. Whisk these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and uniform.

        Combine Mixtures: Gently pour the wet ingredients into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, stir the mixture until just combined. Take care not to overmix; it’s perfectly fine to have a few lumps remaining, as this will result in lighter muffins.

          Fold in Peaches and Nuts: Carefully fold the diced fresh peaches into the batter along with the nuts (if using). Ensure that the peaches are evenly distributed without smashing them to keep their delicious texture intact.

            Fill Muffin Tins: Use a scoop or spoon to fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter. If desired, sprinkle a bit of turbinado sugar on top of each muffin for a delightful crunch and touch of sweetness.

              Bake: Transfer the muffin tin to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The muffins are done when their tops are golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to rest in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. These muffins are delicious enjoyed warm or at room temperature!
