Fresh Peach Spiced Muffins with Brown Sugar Streusel

By on October 18, 2013 in Brunch, Dessert, Peaches, Recipes

We’re talking peaches during Peach Week at Sunshine In My Pocket. I couldn’t leave out these Peach Spiced Muffins with Brown Sugar Streusel…they are delicious for breakfast and lunch, but they also make a fabulous dessert!

I love these muffins because they have cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg in them (that’s the spiced part), and they are not TOO sweet…and with that brown sugar topping, they have the feel of a breakfast coffee cake. But the BEST part are those fresh bits of peaches inside the muffins! It’s like little gold mines with each peachy bite. Ok, that might be dramatic, but if you like fresh peaches…these muffins will hit the spot!

Start with the dry ingredients in a bowl and whisk them all together.

Then add the wet ingredients, stir it up, and dice the peaches right on top. Slowly and carefully mix those peaches in the batter.

Then divide it up into your muffin tins. I love this recipe because it makes A LOT! Not only will it make up 24 muffins, but also 3 mini loaves of peach bread. Perfect for gifting.

Sprinkle a little brown sugar on your mini bread loaves and your muffins and pop them into the oven.

Your kitchen will smell FANTASTIC…and the baked goods should look like this.

Just look at those juicy peach bites in there! Fabulous. The batter is a bit darker from the brown sugar, allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg. I almost believe these are *good* for you. I’m going to try them with freshly ground soft white wheat flour to attempt a “healthier” muffin and I’ll let you know!

Here’s the recipe!

Individual Peach Cobbler

By on October 16, 2013 in Dessert, Peaches, Recipes

I’ve been cooking up a storm with my PEACHES from Utah. So this week I am going to share with you some of my very favorite peach recipes! It’s PEACH WEEK at Sunshine in My Pocket.

This first recipe is an all-time favorite around here. I started making them individual sized because of all the “fights” over how much peach cobbler each family member would get…it’s that good! This size is perfect and everyone feels like they get their very own cobbler.

It starts with fresh peaches, of course. Slice them up and put them into a pan with water and a little sugar. (Full recipe to follow) Allow the mixture to come to a boil, and keep it warm on the stove while you are preparing the rest.

Mix up the egg and butter and sugar, then add the other dry ingredients. Put this batter into greased mini bowls — I use these small pyrex dishes that are oven-safe. You can also use a square baking dish for this recipe.

Now add the cooked peaches to the top. And pop into the oven!

This is where the magic happens. See all that liquid and peach mixture on the top…and the batter is on the bottom. Well, in the oven the liquid “disappears” and the batter comes to the top. I like to point this out to my little nephews…and they are amazed every time! Here’s the perfection that comes out of the oven when they are done:

Serve them up with a little vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Seriously, they are so delicious and fresh that they don’t NEED a topping. Sometimes we even eat these for breakfast all by themselves!

Here’s the recipe in full for you!

How’s this for some SUNSHINE for you? I am always inspired by vegetables and fruits. I love farmer’s markets. And this little gem of a peach is going to turn in some tasty treats!

{The first thing I did when I got these peaches is cut up a fresh one and eat it with some Greek Honey yogurt. Delicious!}

Come back all this week to see what peachy recipes I’ve got to share with you…and then share some of your own. See you soon!
