Big Batch Baked GoodsWe enjoy homemade baked goods for breakfast, but I don’t have time to bake each morning before school. So I devote 1 day a month to making large batches of cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, cream cheese rolls and muffins. I place them in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags labeled with the date. (They freeze for about 2 months.) On busy mornings, it’s a snap to pop a few in the microwave to warm. The kids love the fresh-baked flavor. —Lori T., New London, Texas

Used canned peaches, added 1 tsp. cinnamon and an eighth tsp. nutmeg. Delicious!! My husband and I could have kept eating, but I plan to freeze them to try to resist gaining weight. We may not be able to leave them there. I'm already planning whom I can share them with.

Delicious! I cut the sugar to 1/4 cup and added 1/4 cup honey and 1/8 cup Stevia. I used peaches canned in 100% fruit juice because that is what I had. They turned out wonderfully! Will make these over and over!

We picked peaches yesterday and since we are leaving on vacation I wanted to use them up. Peach muffins seemed like a good way to do that. This recipe was easy to make and they came out delicious even though I was afraid I left them in the oven too long. We didn't have any sour cream but we did have Crema Guatemalteca which is a cultured cream. I also omitted the pecans and added a dash of cinammon and 1/4 grated white chocolate. They turned out fabulous!

Good texture and density (pretty dense). More of a cupcake then a muffin. Omitted nuts. Next time I will try out the suggestion of a cinnamon and sugar topping.

I am on my second batch of these, as the first was gone in 2 days (and for a family of 2, that's pretty good). I altered the recipe slightly, using 1 c all purpose flour and 1/2 c whole wheat flour, adding 1 tsp of almond extract, 1 tsp of cinnamon and 1/2 tsp of nutmeg. I also was very generous with the sour cream (more like 2/3 of a cup than 1/2 to keep the whole wheat flour from making these too dry). Very Good!

Very good recipe. I will add cinnamon to the ingredients and/or sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top before putting them in the oven. I think that will make them taste even better.

I made these for a Church bake sale and they were very well received and tasted good; but I have no idea what happened -- they just fell apart into pieces! Will definitely make again to see what I did wrong the first time! Increased peaches by 1/2 cup and omitted the nuts.

I loved this recipe! I added a twist of my own with slivered almonds and a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar; Delightful!

Very yummy. I added a brown sugar, pecan, and cinnamon topping. This recipe is certainly a keeper.

We loved these muffins! I omitted the pecans, and I think I will add cinnamon sugar on tops the next time I make them. My husband couldn't get enough of them, and he is not a big fan of muffins!

I cooked a lot of breakfasts at a small college and these peach muffins became a favorite. They were a nice change from eggs, waffles and pancakes! Since the nuts are expensive I left them out and used canned peaches. The sour cream really makes a nice texture and flavor, and they're great hot or cold so you can't make too many! These are especially great for those guys who are picky eaters....

These are so delicious! My mother-in-law gave us way too many Jersey peaches to eat before they went bad, so I found this muffin recipe and decided to try them. I was unexpectedly out of pecans, so I had to leave them out, and at the last minute sprinkled some cinnamon sugar on top. Amazing! I'm not even really a fan of peaches and I couldn't get enough. I brought a second batch to a book club meeting and they disappeared! Thanks for sharing :)

I try to make a first batch of anything just like a recipe, and tweak from there, but had to use fresh nectarines. Otherwise, we nearly stuck to the recipe, and it turned out superb. Mental note- these are not light and fluffy cake kind of muffins, but dense bread like, and are super good. We did toast the pecans a bit, though, and I coated the fresh nectarines in a cinnamon sugar and flour mixture so they wouldn't stick together in the batter. We will be making lots of these to freeze for the summer.

These muffins have a wonderful texture. I also greatly enjoyed the flavor, though I tasted the pecan much more than the peach. I think next time I'll try increasing the peaches by 50%. But, still this recipe is well worth making as is.
