Peach Pecan Muffins

Greetings and Happy August (also known as the dog days of summer; and that it has surely been)! I’m so happy to be back guest posting at Honeyville and sharing another delicious recipe. My blog, Gourmet Girl Cooks, features recipes that are low carb, grain and gluten free, and contain no added sugar.

Today’s recipe is a delicious summertime breakfast treat; Peach Pecan Muffins! They’ve got a little bit of “Georgia” mixed in to make them super special (Georgia peaches and Georgia pecans). They are made with Honeyville’s Blanched Almond Flour, which has been my favorite almond flour to bake with for over 4 years now. These muffins are super moist and lightly sweet and they go great with your morning coffee. They are delicious for breakfast and make a tasty snack as well. They are easy to make, too.

Peach Pecan Muffins

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 cups Honeyville Blanched Almond Flour

1/2 cup Ground Golden Flax Seeds

2 Tablespoons coconut flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 cup Swerve Sweetener (or preferred granular sweetener)

3 large eggs

1/4 cup melted coconut oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup buttermilk

1 cup peeled and diced ripe peaches (or substitute canned no sugar added peaches)

1/4 cup chopped pecans (plus 2 Tablespoons extra to sprinkle on top, if desired)

Coconut oil spray to grease muffin tins

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray or grease a 12-cup muffin pan and set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, ground flax, coconut flour, baking powder and sweetener until combined.

In a separate bowl, beat eggs, oil, vanilla extract, and buttermilk together. Add wet mixture to dry mixture and stir just until combined. Fold in peaches and pecans. Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling cups to approximately three-quarters full. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until light golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 to 10 minutes in pan. Carefully remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack. Makes 1 dozen muffins.

*Note: If a sweeter, more cake-like muffin is desired, increase sweetener as desired.
