Oat Flour Peach Muffins (Refined Sugar-Free)

This one’s from my mom.

These moist peach muffins are made with fresh peaches, honey, yogurt, oat flour and pecans. They are a lightened-up version of the classic peach muffins my family enjoyed growing up.

This version keeps the flavour and soft texture of the original while using honey instead of processed sugar, and oat flour.

The result is a tender, lightly sweet peach muffin with a subtle nutty flavour and juicy peach pieces in every bite.

Ingredient Notes

FLOUR: Use 1 cup oat flour, and 1/2 cup regular all-purpose flour. Try to avoid whole wheat or doing ALL oat flour. With the oat flour, pecans and peaches already adding weight, whole-wheat flour, or 100% oat flour, will make the muffins too dense.

You can buy oat flour or make your own by blending rolled oats into a fine powder. Measure it after blending.

YOGURT: I use high-protein, plain greek yogurt. You can use vanilla or peach yogurt for extra sweetness, but this will likely add in artificial ingredients and sugars, which we want to avoid whenever possible.

PEACHES: Fresh ripe peaches provide the best flavour. Peel them and cut them into small pieces so they distribute evenly throughout the batter.

When using canned or frozen peaches, drain them thoroughly and blot away excess moisture.
