Make the Muffin BatterIn a mixing bowl (or you could also just use the food processor on low - I did and it worked great), mix the eggs, buttermilk, vanilla, sugar, about 1 Tbsp grated ginger, and salt. Add baking power and mix it in, then add the flour gradually. Mix in the butter. Let the batter rest while you peel and dice the peaches. Fold them into the batter (if using a food processor - do low pulse just a few times. |

Bake the MuffinsLine your cupcake sheet or muffin pan or coat with cooking spray or butter. Add the batter - don't overfill - leave room for the streusel. Then, top each one off with a generous portion of the ginger nut streusel. Then bake on the bottom rack - if you use the top rack, of course your lovely streusel will come out charred and black. For normal muffin size (12 pc) - bask for about 22-26 minutes. For jumbo muffin pans, you'll need 30-40 minutes. Do the toothpick test or just use your finger - if they spring back - they are ready to eat. I was planning on making a ginger Greek yogurt cream to go with these, but my dad and son loved them so much right out of the oven, I'll add that recipe next time! |
