Gluten Free Peach Muffins

Fresh peaches are added to a gluten-free muffin batter in these delicious gluten-free peach muffins! Gluten-free can be easy and delicious! 

I guess I have been in the muffin making mood lately because I think this is the fourth muffin recipe I have shared in my Recipes Made the Gluten Free Way series.

Muffins are one of my favorite things to bake. My family loves them and I love finding new recipes to convert to gluten-free. I will try to take a break from muffins and work on some cakes and cookies the next few weeks.

I adapted this recipe from a Peach Muffin recipe I saw on Bunny’s Warm Oven. I have been following Bunny’s site for a long time and she has some great recipes. If you are not gluten-free be sure to check out the original recipe.

I came across this recipe a few weeks ago when I had some peaches that needed used up. I knew it was a recipe that my family would love and decided to try converting it to gluten-free.

It actually converted to gluten-free quite easily. I used my favorite gluten-free flours for this and it turned out great. I also changed the milk from the original recipe to buttermilk in the gluten-free version. I have found that buttermilk works better in gluten-free baking and improves the texture.

I love the crumb topping on these. It makes them extra delicious!
