Spiced Peach Oatmeal Muffins

There is nothing quite like the texture of these peach muffins. Thanks to buttermilk and oats, they are hearty without feeling heavy. Each bite is packed with fruit and rounded out by the warmth of cinnamon and a touch of rich molasses.

Ingredients

• 1 cup quick cooking oats

• 1 cup buttermilk

• ⅓ cup brown sugar

• ⅓ cup applesauce

• ¼ cup molasses

• 2  eggs

• 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1 ½ cups pitted and diced fresh peaches

• 2 tablespoons white sugar

• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.

2. In a large bowl, mix together oats, buttermilk, brown sugar, applesauce, molasses, and eggs. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Stir the flour mixture into eggs mixture, just until moistened. Fold in peaches. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.

3. Bake in a preheated oven for 15 minutes. While muffins are baking, combine 2 tablespoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. After 15 minutes of baking, remove muffins from oven and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Return to oven and continue baking for 3 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean.
