What You’ll Need
Here is what you’ll need to make these peach oatmeal muffins:
- Peach: Use one large ripe peach for the best natural sweetness and juicy texture. Peel and finely dice it before adding to the batter.
- Egg: Helps bind the batter together and gives the muffins structure.
- Milk: Adds moisture and helps loosen the batter.
- Unsweetened Applesauce: Adds natural sweetness and keeps the muffins soft.
- Maple Syrup: Naturally sweetens the muffins.
- Oil or Butter: Adds tenderness and prevents the muffins from becoming too dense.
- Oat Flour: Gives these muffins a soft, hearty texture.
- Baking Powder & Baking Soda: Help the muffins rise.
- Ground Cinnamon: Adds a light, warm flavor that pairs perfectly with peaches.

Ingredient Substitutions & Additions
Milk: Any milk of choice will work.
Applesauce: Can be replaced with Greek yogurt.
Maple Syrup: Honey can be used in place of maple syrup.
Oil: Melted butter or avocado oil both work well.
Add-ins: Finely chopped pecans or a few white chocolate chips would be delicious.
Peach: Nectarines can be used in place of peaches.
Step-by-Step Instructions
STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a mini silicone (or metal) muffin pan.
STEP 2: Peel and finely dice the peach into small pieces (Images 1 & 2).
STEP 3: In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, applesauce, maple syrup, and oil until smooth (Image 4).
STEP 4: Add in the oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon (Images 5 & 6). Stir until just combined.
STEP 5: Stir in the diced peach.
STEP 6: Spoon tablespoon-sized portions of batter into the muffin pan (Images 7 & 8).
STEP 7: Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool fully before serving.
Storage Instructions
Once cooled, store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days. To freeze, place the muffins in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months. Allow to thaw at room temperature or warm briefly before serving.
Tips For Success
- Use a ripe peach so the muffins have the best sweetness and flavor. Dice the peach into small pieces so it distributes evenly throughout the batter.
- Let the muffins cool before serving so they can continue to set.
- This recipe makes 24 mini peach muffins. You may make regular-sized oat muffins by adding a few more minutes to the total bake time.
- I love to use a silicone mini muffin pan for baking these mini muffins, as they pop out easily without sticking. If using a regular mini muffin pan, be sure to coat it with a cooking spray beforehand.
Recipe FAQs

can I use frozen peaches?
Hi Monique! Yes, frozen peaches would work😊
These are fabulous! I had to stop myself from eating them! Could these be made with AP flour? Sometimes my baby is finicky about things made with oat flour. I want to make a second batch to freeze and was curious if you’ve ever made them with AP flour. Thank you for everything you do, I am so grateful for your recipes!
Hi Jess! I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed them! You can swap out the oat flour for AP but the ratio might be a tad different, I’d recommend starting with a slightly lesser amount and adding in a bit more flour if the mixture seems too thin😊
I’ll give that a try, thank you for the reply!
