Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix – a few lumps are okay.
- Gently fold in the diced peaches until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

How to Store Leftovers
If you happen to have any leftovers (though they’re sure to disappear quickly!), store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. Alternatively, you can freeze the muffins for up to three months. Simply wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container.
Food and Drink Pairings
