- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ripe peaches diced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, beat the egg and then whisk in milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Gently fold the diced peaches into the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Notes
- Muffins keep fresh in an airtight container for up to two days.
- Reheat muffins briefly in the microwave for a warm, soft texture.
- Frozen peaches can be substituted; thaw and drain excess liquid before folding in.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to ensure a tender, moist crumb.
