This sweet, delicious Wholesome Peach Muffins recipe is perfect for an easy & healthy summer breakfast or dessert! (Vegetarian, Gluten Free)
A few posts ago (in this 5-Minute Spinach Vegetarian Quesadillas recipe) I talked about how ready I am for fall (I know, I know). But then I go on and make this peach muffins recipe that makes me all heart eyes about peach season (errr….umm….summer season)!
Here’s the thing: I just really love food. But I ESPECIALLY love food when it’s seasonal, wholesome, healthy, and tastes heavenly. And guys, this recipe is all of those things and more! Seriously one of my most fave muffins recipes to date. NBD! 😉
How to make this Wholesome Peach Muffins recipe your own:
There are a few ingredients that I used in this recipe that can definitely be subbed as needed! Feel free to play around with these different options and make these healthy peach muffins fit your lifestyle. 😉
- I used honey, but feel free to replace with agave syrup or real maple syrup.
- I love using real, grass-fed butter in baking recipes. However, feel free to replace this with 1/2 cup of oil of your choice! Coconut oil is a great option as well as avocado oil.
- The greek yogurt can be replaced with a non-dairy yogurt, such as coconut or almond yogurt.
- Want to make this recipe vegan? Try replacing the egg with this Easy Flax Egg Recipe!
Side note: I made a streusel topping by mixing together a little bit of rolled oat flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon. It was delicious, but definitely an optional add-on!
My favorite ways to devour these Wholesome Peach Muffins:
These muffins are pretty amazing all on their own, but I’m absolutely loving them topped with yogurt and fruit in the mornings for breakfast! I also like keeping them in the fridge for a quick and easy snack. Nothing beats enjoying them warm and straight out of the oven, of course.
Did I mention that they’ll make your house smell AMAZING? So yummy!
Pro-tip: Use a blender to make this peach muffins recipe. I absolutely love my Ninja Blender because it has a dough setting that’s perfect for baked goods!

Found your recipe after prying myself away from bakery muffins strategically placed above fresh peaches at the grocery store. They had like 7,000 calories each and I thought there has to be a way to make these muffs healthier at home. And here I ended up – making your muffin recipe around midnight because #cravings and OHMYGOODNESS YUM. I am so jazzed about these, I cannot wait to grace all my coworkers with these pieces of heaven tomorrow. Thank you for putting the recipe out into the world.

Best comment ever! 🙂 I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Natalie!! I hope your coworkers loved them, too!
Carrie says
Can these be made in advance and frozen?
Christine McMichael says
Yes! Simply thaw them out when you’re ready to eat and heat up in the microwave for about 30 seconds 🙂
Sally says
I’ve made these twice already. They are delicious!! I love that they are gluten free (as long as gluten free oats are used). I’m certain they are wonderful as is, but I often bake vegan style. To make them vegan, I used maple syrup instead of honey, 1/3 cup olive oil instead of butter, 1 T ground chia seeds combined with 3 T water instead of an egg, and 3/4 cup mashed peaches instead of the Greek yogurt. I will continue making these as long as it is peach season. Thanks for the recipe!
Christine McMichael says
I’m so glad to hear that, Sally! Loving the vegan substitutions. 🙂
Diana says
How much flour is needed, not listed with Ingredients.
Christine McMichael says
Hi, Diana! There actually isn’t flour in this recipe. The “flour” base is made from the rolled oats. I hope that makes sense and that you enjoy the recipe!
