Our peach tree is overloaded with yummy peaches just about every year. With so much fresh fruit, I am making everything I can think of using peaches. One morning, it was these fresh Easy Peach Muffins. This recipe was a winner!
I started with my recipe for Lemon Lime Muffins, and then adjusted some spices, and added the fresh chopped peaches. This easy peach muffin recipe came out so light, tender, and very, very tasty.

FAQ's
In my opinion, yes! I enjoy the peach muffins a lot more if the peaches are peeled first. However, if you would prefer to leave the peel on, I would suggest blanching the peaches first to remove the fuzz. Or, maybe try nectarines instead.
Canned peaches should work fine for this recipe. Make sure that the peaches have been thoroughly drained first.
I would stay away from frozen peaches here. I have not tried it but I can only imagine they would be very mushy.
