Fresh peaches - Hopefully you are making these during peach season which is in July and August on Long Island so you can use the freshest hand picked peaches. If fresh peaches are not in season you can swap with canned peaches.

Expert Tips
- Use Fresh Fruit: Always use ripe, fresh peaches for the best flavor and juiciness in your peach muffins. Avoid canned or frozen peaches for this recipe.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your eggs, butter, and milk are at room temperature. This helps the ingredients blend more smoothly, resulting in a better muffin texture.
- Cut Peaches Evenly: Chop your peaches into even chunks to ensure they distribute evenly throughout the muffins and bake uniformly.
- Prevent Soggy Muffins: Pat the peach chunks dry with a paper towel before adding them to the batter to prevent excess moisture.
- Enhance Flavor with Spices: Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or a pinch of pumpkin pie spice to the batter to complement the peach flavor.
- Add Almond Extract: A small amount of almond extract can enhance the flavor of your peach muffins, giving them a subtle, nutty undertone.
- Perfect Portioning: Use an ice cream scoop to evenly distribute the batter into the muffin tin. This ensures uniform muffin sizes and even baking.
- Crumb Topping: For a bakery-style muffin, add a crumb topping made of flour, butter, and sugar. It adds a delightful crunch and extra sweetness.
- Golden Brown Perfection: Bake the muffins until they are golden brown. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes, but start checking at the 18-minute mark.
- Toothpick Test: Use a toothpick to test for doneness. Insert it into the center of a muffin; if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the muffins are done.
- Cooling Rack: After baking, transfer the muffins to a cooling rack. This prevents the bottoms from getting soggy and helps them cool evenly.
- Drizzle of Vanilla Icing: For added sweetness, drizzle a simple vanilla icing over the cooled muffins. Mix powdered sugar, a splash of vanilla extract, and a bit of milk for a quick icing.
- Maple Syrup: For a natural sweetener, substitute some of the sugar in the recipe with maple syrup. It adds a rich, caramel-like flavor that pairs well with peaches.
- Storing Muffins: Store your muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you need to keep them longer, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and freeze.
- Reheat Before Serving: If serving after storage, warm the muffins slightly in the oven or microwave to bring back their fresh-baked taste and texture.
