Peaches and Cream Muffins
Light, fluffy, sweet and peachy, these Peaches and Cream Muffins are a tasty addition to your breakfast table!
Ingredients
- 2.5 oz 1/3 less fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 ½ tablespoons light butter, softened (I use Land O’ Lakes)
- 5 teaspoons unsweetened applesauce
- 2/3 cup sugar
- ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg whites
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour, you can use all-purpose or regular wheat if you prefer
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup low-fat buttermilk
- 1 cup chopped fresh peaches
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350. Line 12 cups of a standard size muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer (or a large bowl if you are using a hand mixer), combine the cream cheese, butter and applesauce and beat until blended. Add sugar and beat until combined. Add vanilla, eggs and egg whites and beat until blended.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour (lightly spoon into measuring cups and then level with a knife), baking soda, baking powder and salt and stir together. In the mixer bowl containing the wet ingredients, turn the mixer on a low speed while you pour in the flour mixture and the buttermilk. Beat on low until blended. Add the chopped peaches and stir in gently.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the liners (about 2/3 full). Bake for 25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
