If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I prefer to cook over bake, but when I do bake, it’s usually with fruit. By using naturally sweet fruit in baked goods, I don’t have to rely on lots of added sugar, like in these Almond Flour Peach Muffins.

To make my muffins gluten-free, 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 post on Healthy Baking Hack: 9 Simple Substitutions.

Ingredients

  • Peaches: Fresh or frozen peaches can work for these muffins, but I usually use fresh peaches.
  • Dry ingredients: Almond flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ground ginger.
  • Wet ingredients: Eggs, egg whites, honey, olive oil, and vanilla.

How to Make Almond Flour Peach Muffins

Pouring almond flour into metal bowl.

Step 1. Start by adding all of your dry ingredients to a large bowl and whisk together.

Step 2. Slowly add your wet ingredients to your dry ingredients and mix; this is a great time to use your stand mixer.

Step 3. Then gently fold in the diced peaches. Ripe fruit is a bit delicate, so the less you fuss with it, the better.

Step 4. Once your batter is mixed, use a cookie scoop to divide evenly between 12 muffin cups, then toss in the oven at 350 for about 25 minutes.

The end result is tender, moist, and light. Top with extra diced peaches before baking if you’d like, then enjoy your Almond Flour Peach Muffins!

    You didnt put the time to bake and temperature. Or it was very hard to find in your instructions.

    Thank You! these are wonderful. I made a few changes like avocado oil instead of olive oil, and added a little more almond meal as my peaches were smaller. Also diced my peaches. Really great muffins! Very quick and easy to make also.

    Tried this today! I only made a 0.5 batch because usually I find baking with almond flour to never work out for me. I wish I made a full batch because they are delicious! Super simple to make, and I feel better knowing that they are made with whole foods.

    I followed exactly and was questioning the lack of fat (oil, butter, etc) and liquid. They turned out like rocks. Total waste of ingredients. Read the recipe and directions again….I don’t get it

      The fat and liquid is covered by the eggs, olive oil, and honey. I don’t know why yours would turn out so hard! Do you live at a higher altitude?

    Very good and easy to make. I also topped with a few diced peaches and sprinkled with a bit of turbinado sugar. Yummy, thanks for the recipe.

    Loved these…increased almond flour to 2-1/2 cups, added 1/2 tsp baking powder, subbed 2 T. maple syrup for the honey, avocado oil for olive, and peach & rum extract for the vanilla. Turned out fabulous!!!

    Made a double batch today. Excellent!!! Fluffy & light just like a muffin should be. I didn’t have honey so I used Maple Syrup. Had no issues doing that. I am going to share with my Mom who is diabetic. The test will come with our autistic Grandson who is Gluten Free Dairy Free & very, very picky. I may have to add the peaches in a different form but I am certain he will love these. Can’t wait to try more of your recipes.

    Any thoughts on subbing out the olive oil with applesauce?

      Worth trying but I’ve never tried that myself so I’m not sure it will work. May be too dry!
