I 💖 peaches. It really doesn’t feel like summer to me until I have a kitchen full of peaches. Not to mention that peach is the hottest beauty trend of the season (*cough* the Too Faced Sweet Peach palette, anyone?) both in color and scent. But back to food. Peach Cobbler Muffins, to be exact. 🍑
Peach Cobbler is a Southern staple, and not something that you typically will find here in Canada. But it is so good, and definitely worthy of a healthier makeover. So these are my gluten-free Peach Cobbler Muffins, that are considerably lower in sugar, carbs, fat, and calories than the original, but with all of that amazing sticky, summery, sweet peach flavor. Enjoy! xoxo
Gluten Free Peach Cobbler Muffins
2 1/4 C whole grain gluten-free flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp gluten-free baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cardamom
3/4 C coconut sugar
1 C + 2 Tb coconut milk
1 Tb fresh lemon juice
1/2 C melted coconut oil
1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 large egg, beaten, or vegan egg replacer equal to 1 large egg
2 C chopped peach
1 Tb melted butter or coconut oil
1/4 C coconut sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla bean powder
Preheat oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit, and line a muffin tin with muffin liners.
In a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cardamom together. Add the coconut sugar and mix well. Set aside.
In another medium bowl, add the coconut milk, lemon juice, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and egg or egg replacer and whisk together until well combined.
Add the chopped peaches to the dry mixture and gently toss until well combined. Create a well in the centre of the dry mixture and pour the wet mixture into the dry. Quickly and gently mix the batter until just combined. The batter will be lumpy, which is ok; do not over-mix. In a separate small heat-proof bowl mix the melted butter or coconut oil, cinnamon, coconut sugar, and vanilla bean powder. Set aside.
Spoon the batter two-thirds full into the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle a small amount of the cinnamon crumble mixture on top of the muffins. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the muffins comes out clean. Enjoy! xoxo
