Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 ripe peaches
- 1 cup sourdough starter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup whole milk
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and arrange 12 paper liners inside a standard muffin tin.
- Sift 1½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp cinnamon, and a pinch of salt together in a medium mixing bowl.
- Crack 2 room-temperature large eggs into a separate bowl and whisk thoroughly with ½ cup whole milk and ½ cup brown sugar until completely smooth.
- Add 1 cup sourdough starter to the egg mixture and gently blend until incorporated without overmixing.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and stir just until combined, being careful not to overwork the batter.
- Gently fold 2 chopped ripe peaches into the muffin batter, distributing them evenly throughout.
- Divide the batter equally among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Slide the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and let them rest in the tin for 5 minutes to set.
- Transfer the muffins to a wire cooling rack and allow them to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Use ripe, juicy peaches for the most flavorful muffins and dice them into small, uniform pieces.
- If your sourdough starter is cold, let it come to room temperature for better mixing and rising.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the muffins tender and prevent a tough texture.
- Swap fresh peaches with frozen or canned when fresh aren’t in season, but drain excess liquid first.
