These Vegan Gluten-Free Peach Muffins use fresh peaches and almond flour and oat flour. A healthier muffin recipe, icing optional!
Peaches are the summertime fruit worth the wait.
They come into their own at a point in the summer months that they are almost forgotten about.
Almost. But definitely not forgotten.
Gluten-Free Peach Muffin Ingredients
For this healthy muffin recipe, almond and oat flours combine for some whole grain goodness and a perfect crumb. Here's the major ingredients you'll need:
- Almond flour
- Gluten-free oat flour
- Ground flaxseed
- Almond milk
- Coconut oil
- Coconut sugar
- Ground cinnamon
- Ground nutmeg
- Vanilla extract
- Fresh peaches
- Organic powdered sugar (optional)
Making Peach Muffins
This recipe calls for three peaches. You'll want your peaches to be ripened. After peeling all three peaches, pit and quarter two of them. You will use these in the blender and will puree them with the other liquid ingredients. The third peach will be diced and folded into your batter.
Starting with the ingredients bound for the blender, assemble them there then set the blender aside. Combine your dry ingredients. Then, blend the liquid ingredients on high, transfer to the dry ingredients, and stir.
Fold in those diced peaches, and there you have it! Peach muffin batter ready for the tin.
Peach muffins with icing
If you want to add a little breakfast bling, then drizzling a bit of icing on top of these muffins is completely adviseable. Top them all, top some, or none at all!

Hi Tess,
I’m excited to try this recipe.
What would you suggest I use to replace the flax seeds? Chia seeds or Hemp seeds? Let me know. Thanks so much.
Tessa
Hi! I think chia seeds would work great!
Allison

That's awesome! Thanks, Allison!

So, I made these before having a single sip of coffee this morning, resulting in me forgetting to add the almond flour. Even so, I got 16 muffins and although the texture wasn't ideal, they were still very good! I'll make these again but with ALL the ingredients 😊
Tessa
That is great! So glad it still worked! :)

AMAZING!!!! I made this as a cake last night and wow! I doubled the recipe and put it in a large 9x14 glass pan. I subbed the coconut sugar with maple syrup. My whole family loved it. I've been asked by everyone to make it again!
Great recipe!
Tessa
Hi Jennifer! That is awesome! I will have to try it in cake form too. :) Thank you!
Amanda
These are really delicious! Really, really delicious. I added a sprinkling of ginger to the recipe . . . because ginger and peach! I only hope there are some left to share when my children get home from school.
Tessa
That's awesome! Thank you, Amanda!
Kat
I was wondering how much the peaches would convert to if using frozen sliced peaches? In either cups or weight! Thanks!
Tessa
Hi Kat! 1 cup of sliced peaches equals about 150g. 2 medium peaches equal about 1 cup sliced peaches. I hope that helps!
