Spiced Peach Muffins

By norsegal8

These muffins are big, high-crowned affairs that seem to explode right out of the muffin cup. We make them here with peaches, but they're also delightful made with blueberries, blackberries or raspberries.

Ingredients

• 4 1/2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 cups dark brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 eggs
• 3/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 4 peaches, diced (not peeled) or 3 cups small whole berries or other fruit, diced
• granulated sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Combine flour, salt, baking powder, brown sugar, allspice, nutmeg and cinnamon in a large bowl. Stir in eggs, vegetable oil and milk, then gently stir in fruit. Grease 16 muffin cups, and heap batter into cups; they'll be very full. Sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake at 400°F for 25 to 30 minutes, or until muffins test done. Makes 16 muffins.
