When we bought our first home a couple of years ago, the first thing that we added to our back yard was a peach tree. Five years later, it gives us more peaches than we know what to do with around the first week of September. How I wish it grew them year-round!!! So, I have to make the most of it while I can!
We do freeze a lot of peaches, but I also love to use them in my baking. These muffins were a hit for breakfast and they freeze well so that you can pull them out on another day! The combo of spices gives you the tiniest hint of fall . . . and all the flavors to come in the next season!
