Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups buttermilk
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 cup ripe peaches, diced
• 1 cup ripe nectarines, diced
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and eggs until fully combined.

Step 4

Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the diced peaches and nectarines, being careful not to crush the fruit.

Step 6

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle the tops with brown sugar for added sweetness and a slight crunch.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious peach nectarine muffins!
