Bite into a delicious muffin filled with fresh peaches and spices. These Peach Cobbler Muffins are so good no one will know they are vegan!

This recipe originally published in October 2013.

Let me start by saying that I am not a vegan. I like meat and cheese and honey way too much to ever eat vegan. However I know many people that are vegan and I’ve been known to bake a few vegan baked goods for those people in my life.

What is a vegan?

A vegan is someone who follows a plant-based diet and lifestyle by avoiding the use of animal products as much as possible. This usually includes not eating meat, dairy, eggs, or any other animal-derived ingredients. That means things like honey, gelatin, and even some types of sugar are not vegan so if you are eating vegan it’s very important to read labels.

One of my favorite and most popular vegan recipes are Banana Bread French Toast Cupcakes with frosting. Another delicious vegan dessert is my Zucchini Brownies filled with both chocolate and zucchini. While not a sweet, I cannot get enough of this Vegan Hot Pretzel Challah Bread. It’s amazing.

So years ago I received a vegan cookbook called Bake and Destroy. It’s become my go to cookbook for all things vegan. The recipes are solid and are always well received.

One recipe that I’ve made multiple times are these Peach Cobbler Muffins. They are actually called cupcakes in the book but I can’t call them cupcakes because they don’t have any frosting. So in my book they are definitely more of a muffin.

What is the difference between cupcakes and muffins?

Cupcakes are generally sweeter, the texture is light and fluffy, and they are often topped with frosting. Since they are considered a dessert they may have chocolate, vanilla, or other sweet toppings in them. Muffins are generally less sweet and may have fruits, vegetables, or nuts added to them. The texture is more dense.

It’s currently peach season here so peaches can be found at the grocery store and the farmer’s market. I bought a big container of peaches and couldn’t wait to bake with them.

These vegan peach cobbler muffins were high at the top of my list to make. I liked that they combined fresh peaches with plenty of warm spices.

Instead of butter this recipe uses vegetable oil. In place of milk it uses plant based milk. I personally like oat milk the best but you can use almond milk or soy milk as well.

Ingredients:

all purpose flour
granulated sugar
cornstarch
baking powder
cinnamon
nutmeg
cardamom
salt
vanilla oat milk (or other plant based milk-you can use plain plant based milk as well)
vegetable oil
vanilla extract
white vinegar (optional)
fresh peaches

To make the muffins preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. I’ve made these muffins multiple times and usually only get 10 muffins out of a batch.

In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and salt. Mix well to combine.

Stir in the plant based milk, vegetable oil, vanilla, and vinegar. Mix well to combine and then allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes. Gently fold in the peaches.

Do I have to peel the peaches?

I do not peel my peaches when I bake with them. I find that the texture of the skin does not bother me in these muffins. If you think it will bother you then peel the peaches before chopping.

Use a large cookie scoop and scoop the batter into the muffin cups, filling 3/4 of the way full. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack before enjoying.

I really liked how many peaches went into the cupcakes as it gave them a deep peach flavor. There was also a lot of flavor from the cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom. If you only have 2 of the 3 spices it’s fine to use the ones you have on hand.

How do you store these muffins?

Store the muffins in an air tight container on the counter for up to 4 days. You can also store them in an air tight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.

These muffins are delicious. The spices really come through with the sweetness of the peaches. They are great for breakfast with a cup of coffee or tea but they are also a nice mid-afternoon treat.
