Peach Muffin Recipe Ingredients
Simple, wholesome ingredients, and nothing too fancy! Here’s what you’ll need for this recipe:
-
Rolled oats – Blended into oat flour for the base. Swap with store-bought oat flour if you want to skip the blender step.
-
Baking powder – Helps the muffins rise and bake up fluffy.
-
Raw cane sugar – Adds a little extra sweetness. Swap with coconut sugar if that’s what you have.
-
Honey – Naturally sweetens and adds moisture. Maple syrup works great too.
-
Butter – Gives these that rich, classic muffin flavor. Swap with melted coconut oil or plant-based butter if needed.
-
Plain Greek yogurt – Keeps the muffins soft and tender (and adds a little extra protein). Dairy-free yogurt works too.
-
Egg – Helps bind everything together. For an egg-free option, use a flax egg.
-
Fresh peaches – The star of the show. Frozen peaches can work, just thaw and drain well first!
How to Make Fresh Peach Muffins
Blend, mix, fold, and done. I love how easy these are to make! Here’s an overview for how to make fresh peach muffins:
-
Preheat and prep. Preheat the oven and lightly grease a muffin pan (or use liners).
-
Make the oat flour. Blend the rolled oats until they’re a fine flour-like texture.
-
Mix in the dry ingredients. Add baking powder and sugar, then pulse just until combined.
-
Add the wet ingredients. Blend in the honey, softened butter, Greek yogurt, and egg until smooth.
-
Fold in the peaches. Stir the chopped peaches in by hand so they stay nice and chunky.
-
Bake. Divide batter into the muffin pan and bake until set and a toothpick comes out clean.
Healthy Peach Muffins Variations
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!
How to Serve Fresh 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!
How to Store Healthy Peach Muffins
Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days!
Freezer: Freeze in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months.
Reheat: Microwave for 10–15 seconds from the fridge, or about 30 seconds from frozen. You can also let them thaw overnight in the fridge and warm them up for just a few seconds before eating.

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.
Christine McMichael replied:
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 replied:
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 replied:
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 replied:
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!
