Peachy Muffins  

(makes about 14 muffins)  

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

1 1/2 c. white flour
3/4 c. whole wheat flour
1 1/8 c. sugar
3/4 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. butter, melted 
2 eggs
1/2 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
3 large ripe peaches or nectarines, peeled and cut into small chunks
brown sugar for sprinkling on top

Peel and cut peaches and set aside (If peaches are not sweet enough, put in a bowl with a couple of Tbsps. of sugar, mix together and let set while preparing muffin batter).

Mix dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.  In a separate bowl, mix melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla.  Add to dry ingredients and mix together just until dry ingredients are moistened.  Fold peaches into batter.

Fill muffin tin with paper liners and fill cups with batter.  Sprinkle each muffin with brown sugar and press lightly with back of spoon to prevent sugar from falling off baked muffins.  Bake for 18-20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.  

Serve warm.
