Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
5
Gently fold in the diced peaches, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
6
Divide the batter evenly among 8 prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
7
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can use frozen peaches. Do not thaw them first; toss the frozen pieces in a little extra flour to prevent them from sinking, then fold them into the batter frozen.
Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them individually wrapped for up to 2 months.
Absolutely. Substitute the all-purpose flour with a quality 1-to-1 gluten-free baking flour blend that contains xanthan gum. The texture will remain very good.
To prevent sticking, you can lightly spray the inside of the paper liners with nonstick cooking spray before filling them with batter. Using high-quality liners also helps.
Yes, melted unsalted butter works beautifully in this recipe. Use the same amount (1/4 cup) of melted butter for a richer flavor, but the muffins may be slightly less moist than with oil.
