For the Muffins:
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt of choice)
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 large eggs (or flax eggs for a vegan option)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh peaches peeled, pitted, and chopped (about 3-4 medium peaches)
For the Crumb Topping:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup cold butter or coconut oil cut into small pieces
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with coconut oil.
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and coconut sugar.
2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 cup rolled oats, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 cup coconut sugar
In another bowl, mix together the applesauce, Greek yogurt, melted coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup melted coconut oil, 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup, 2 large eggs, 1 tsp vanilla extract
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Gently fold in the chopped fresh peaches.
2 cups fresh peaches
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Make the Crumb Topping:
In a small bowl, mix together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, coconut sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cold butter or coconut oil and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup whole wheat flour, 1/4 cup coconut sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 cup cold butter or coconut oil
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the muffin batter.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
- Substitute canned or frozen peaches if fresh ones are unavailable. Drain well and thaw before using.
- For added crunch, mix in chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans.
- Increase coconut sugar or honey by 1/4 cup for a sweeter muffin.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Ensure butter or coconut oil is cold for the best crumb topping texture.
- Check muffins for doneness at the 20-minute mark; they should be done when a toothpick comes out clean.
