Millons of peaches, peaches for me.  Millions of peaches, peaches for free.  Do you ever hear that song in your head whenever you see a ton of peaches?  I ALWAYS do and it gets super annoying.  This week my market had peaches on sale for 79 cents a pound.  I bought several pounds because of how cheap they were.

Once I got home I made a fruit salad with peaches and then we had peaches with our lunches a few day.  By the end of the week we still had several peaches left and were getting a little tired of fresh peaches.

In walks the peach donut.  I love baked donuts because they are so much lighter then fried donuts you get at the grocery store or a donut shop.  The only down side to them is that they are only really good the day they are baked.

This peach version looked really tasty but I didn’t want to add tons of calories by putting a glaze on top so I simply sprinkled a touch of brown sugar on top which tasted delicious.  I really enjoyed the taste of the fresh peaches in these donuts.

Peach Baked Donuts (adapted from Prevention RD)
1 1/2 c. flour
1/3 c. sugar
1 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. nutmeg
1 T. melted butter
1 t. vanilla
1 egg
1/3 c. milk
2 peaches, diced
3 T. brown sugar

1.  Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Spray a donut pan with cooking spray.

2.  In a small bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.

3.  In a medium bowl combine the butter, vanilla, and egg.  Stir in the flour mixture.  Add in the milk and mix until combined.

4.  Gently fold in the peaches.  Fill the donut cups 2/3 of the way full.  Sprinkle with the brown sugar.  Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the donuts begin turning brown.

5.  Remove from oven, cool for 2 minutes, then remove the donuts from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.

Note:  These donuts are best eaten the day they are made.
