Spring Peach & Blueberry Muffins

I LOVE to bake! Yet with my crazy busy schedule I don't get the chance to as much as I'd like. My dog decided on this lovely Saturday morning that 4am seemed like a good time to wake up, which means I'm up to. So with some extra free time, I felt inspired to put together a recipe for a Bake Sale I will be helping out in this Sunday!
This summer I am traveling to Guadalajara to work in a soup kitchen and to lead local kids in fitness classes! Couldn't be more excited! The Bake Sale is helping to raise money for the trip (to find out how you can help..get in touch!!)
There is no reason why baked goods cant be great, wholesome fuel for our bodies...so this is a yummy recipe that is loaded with nutritious ingredients and is gluten free for better digestion. Give it a try! Enjoy with a warm cup of tea as an afternoon snack or a bowl of fruit for a refreshing breakfast!
 
1 cup gluten free all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups rolled oats (I used gluten free oats)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
 1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
 1/2 cup blueberries
 1/2 cup chopped peaches
Topping
1/4 cup oatmeal
2 Tbsp brown sugar
 
1.Preheat oven to 400F. Line muffin tins with paper cups.

2. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.
I used sugar, you could try a substitute like agave or honey, not sure how it will turn out but give it a go if you'd like! I don't eat sugar often, so I'm ok with a little every now and then

 3. In a separate bowl mix together milk, egg, oil, and vanilla.

4. Mix wet ingredients into the dry ones, don't over mix! Just until combined

5. Fold in blueberries and peaches.

6. Divide the mixture in 12 muffin tins.

7. In a small bowl combine 1/4 cup oatmeal with 2 tablespoons of sugar and sprinkle on each muffin.

again, a little sugar which you could substitute
 8. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes.

 
9. Let cool on a baking sheet or you could eat them warm right out of the oven! Hope you like!
