By jarren

Ingredients

• 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 1 egg
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange peel
• 1 15 oz. can peach slices, drained and cut into small cubes
• 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven: 350° F.

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt.

In a separate bowl, blend sugar with butter until smooth and light. Whisk in egg, buttermilk, vanilla, cinnamon and orange peel.
Pour over dry ingredients. Add peaches and coconut; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened.

Spoon batter into lightly oiled or paper-lined muffin cups, filling 3/4 full.

Bake on center rack in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until tops are firm to the touch. Gently lift from pan and cool on a rack.

Tip: For a glossy look, brush each muffin, while still warm, with a little honey.
Storage: For freshness, keep muffins in an airtight container.
