Moist, tender, and lightly sweetened, these gluten-free peach muffins are high in protein and low in carb. The ideal busy morning breakfast or on-the-go healthy snack!

With two little kids under the age of ten, I am always looking for healthy and nutritious snacks that my boys can serve themselves.

The peaches shown are Oregold Paches grown in Southern Oregon and thrive on the warm, sunny days and cool nights.

The reason I love baking with this variety if they’re available is because they are extra sweet and super juicy. By using naturally sweet fruit in baked goods I don’t have to rely on lots of added sugar.

To make my gluten-free peach muffins I start off with almond flour or almond meal. If you’re curious about the difference or why I use almond flour, be sure to check out my recent post on Healthy Baking Hack: 9 Simple Substitutions.

Speaking of sweetness, the only added sugar in these gluten free muffins is 1/4 cup of pure honey. I leave the rest of the sweetness up to the juicy peaches.

When adding in the peaches, gently fold them into the batter. Ripe fruit is a bit delicate so the less you fuss with it, the better.

Once your batter is mixed, use a cookie scoop to divide evenly between 12 muffin cups.

Have a few extra peaches laying around? Feel free to dice up an extra one and sprinkle a little extra on top before baking but this is completely optional.

The end result is tender, moist and light. The almond flour adds a delicious, nutty flavor and buttery texture (with no actual butter in the recipe!)
