Ingredients

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 cups peeled, pitted and chopped peaches

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease 16 muffin cups.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the oil, eggs and sugar. Stir the oil mixture into the flour mixture just until moist. Fold in the peaches. Spoon into the prepared muffin cups.
  3. Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before turning out onto wire racks to cool completely.

Variations

The original recipe called for 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, which I found too powerful of a taste. I also adjusted the sugar ,it called for 2 cups of white sugar. The amount of brown sugar I added, gives it a nice sweetness. I also made 12 bigger muffins instead of the 16 regular size. I still cooked them for 25 minutes.

Comments:

These muffins freeze well.
