Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup plain 2% Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup butter, semi-soft but cold
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 medium peaches, peeled and chopped
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • ¼ cup buttermilk, optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugars, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Beat eggs in a separate bowl. Add Greek yogurt, melted butter, vanilla, and buttermilk. Whisk to combine.
  4. Gently fold wet ingredients into dry using a silicone spatula. Mix until just combined—lumps are okay.
  5. Fold in chopped peaches and a handful of sliced almonds, if using.
  6. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Top with extra peach slices or granulated sugar.
  7. Bake 18-22 minutes until golden. Toothpick inserted in center should come out with moist crumbs.
  8. Let cool in tin 5 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool.
