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 (let it cool slightly)

1 cup buttermilk (room temperature)

2 large eggs (room temperature)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced (about 2 medium peaches)

1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional for added crunch)

1 tablespoon coarse sugar for topping (optional, for added sweetness)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a standard muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing each cup to prevent sticking.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk together these dry ingredients until they are well integrated and fluffy.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter (make sure it has cooled a bit), buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are smooth and homogenous.

        Combine Mixtures: Gently pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, stir the mixture until just combined. Be cautious not to overmix, as a few lumps are perfectly fine for light and airy muffins.

          Fold in Peaches and Nuts: Carefully fold in the diced fresh peaches and chopped nuts (if you are using them) into the batter, ensuring an even distribution without deflating the mixture.

            Fill Muffin Tins: Using an ice cream scoop or a spoon, fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with the batter. For an extra touch of sweetness and texture, sprinkle a bit of coarse sugar on top of each muffin.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in your preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes. The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

                Cool: Once baked, allow the muffins to cool in the tin for approximately 5 minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps them maintain their light, fluffy texture.

                  Serve: Indulge in your delightful peach muffins either warm or at room temperature! They serve as an excellent breakfast treat or a tasty snack option throughout the day.
