My parents are visiting for the 4th of July weekend and one of my mom’s favorite summertime treats is peaches. She loves peach crisp, peach crumble, peach pie, and canned peaches. That’s why I wanted to surprise my mom with a special peach recipe while they were visiting and I thought I’d give peach muffins a try.
Kora loves to bake and it was the perfect opportunity to get her involved as well. Now that she’s 7 I felt she was old enough to tackle her first recipe all on her own (except for the parts involving the oven). So I wrote out the recipe, got her set up, and let her go.
She was so excited to be making the muffins all by herself and they turned out fabulously. She was so proud!
These muffins are delicious and the peaches add a wonderful summer flavor. When my parents arrived we gave them each a muffin and they were impressed that Kora made them and commented on how delicious they were. My mom, of course, loved the peaches and was excited that we made them for her. These muffins were a big hit and we have a few left right now but as soon as they’re gone Kora & I can’t wait to make them again and even try the recipe as a bread.
Here’s the recipe, we hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
