Peach Blueberry Muffins
Get very excited about these Peach Blueberry Muffins because they are beyond delicious! These fluffy muffins are not your typical blueberry-style-muffin, they have more flavor and depth, and are moister than the ones you would normally get at a coffee shop. Ready to make your own summer muffins? Let’s see how it goes!
Seasonal Fruits For The Win
We completely support using frozen fruits whenever you can’t find the fresh version, but when in season, go all in. Why? Well, eating seasonal is a great way to add variety to your diet and eat the freshest foods available. In winter, the oranges, persimmons, pears, and grapefruits. In the summer, the peaches, melons, watermelons, and apricots. Each season gives us fruits with characteristics of its own. Summer fruits are water-rich and winter fruits packed with fiber. Nature is wise.
Another amazing benefit of eating seasonal fruits is taking care of our budget, which is something we are (obviously) very passionate about. Fruits in season are usually a lot more affordable than those brought from other parts of the world. So, get your seasonal fruits game on and take advantage of those amazingly sweet treats.
Double Batch
This peach blueberry muffins recipe makes two dozen muffins, which are plenty. Don’t be intimidated by the amount since you can always store them in your fridge or, even better, freeze them and store them for months. Who doesn’t want to have a delicious peach blueberry muffin ready to enjoy at all times?
How to Freeze Them?
First of all, let them cool down completely before attempting to freeze them. Second, transfer the muffins into an airtight freezer friendly bag, plastic container, or wrap them in aluminum foil. Easy peasy! You can store them for up to two months.

These are so good! I decreased the oil (I used EVOO) to 1/3 cup and upped the applesauce to keep the liquid the same. I also only used 2 tsp cinnamon, personal preference. They are moist and delicious! Thanks!
