P1130692The shops and supermarkets are packed with fresh peaches at the moment, and if you’re looking for a new way to enjoy the juicy summer favourite, these peach and ginger muffins make a delicious treat.

P1130695The combination of sweet peach and spicy fresh root ginger make a surprisingly incredible duo, and especially with the addition of cinnamon and nutmeg. 

P1130702I recommend using an all-purpose flour rather than rice or coconut flour, as it creates a much better texture. I used the Dove’s Farm gluten-free flour (€2.45), which tends to be quite widely available in supermarkets and health food shops. 

P1130705If you’re not a fan of ginger, try chopping up fresh strawberries or adding flaked almonds, walnut pieces or chopped hazelnuts to change up the taste and texture. The recipe is so versatile, but do look out for ripe peaches, as their taste and texture is totally delicious in these muffins!

  6. pinch of sea salt
  7. 1.5 ripe peaches, stones removed
  8. 125ml (1/2 cup) unsweetened almond milk
  9. 100g (1/2 cup) coconut oil, melted

  11. 1 peach, diced
  12. 1 tsp fresh root ginger, grated or finely sliced or 1 tsp crystallised ginger
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 180C and lightly grease a muffin tray with coconut oil. This recipe makes 6-8 muffins.
  2. Sieve the flour into a large mixing bowl and add the baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Mix well.
  3. Place the 1.5 peaches in a blender and blend into a purée, using a splash of water to blend if necessary.
  4. Pour the peach purée into a separate bowl and add the almond milk, coconut oil and maple syrup. Mix until well combined.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the flour and mix until a thick dough forms. Gently fold in the diced peach and ginger until well distributed.
  6. Divide the mixture into the muffin wells in the prepared tin and bake at 180C for 25-30 minutes until they turn golden and are firm to touch.
  7. Allow the muffins to cool for 10-15 minutes before eating.
