Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tray with liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. If using fresh peaches, peel and dice them into small chunks. Set aside.
Mixing Ingredients
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  2. In another bowl, mix the milk, oil (or melted butter), eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the diced peaches.
Baking
  1. Spoon the batter evenly into each muffin cup, filling them about 2/3 full.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cooling and Serving
  1. Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  2. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with butter or whipped cream.

Notes

Store cooled muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They freeze beautifully for up to 3 months. For reheating, microwave for about 15 seconds or warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes. Experiment with spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
