Healthy Peach Blueberry Streusel Muffins (Gluten Free)

Healthy fresh peach and blueberry muffins made with oatmeal and almond flour, sweetened with maple syrup and topped with a delicious oat streusel topping. Gluten free and refined sugar free. 

After trying these muffins you'll want to make a triple batch and stock your freezer with a ton of them so you can have them on repeat! I know that's what I did - and I've been having the best snack lately as a result!

These peach and blueberry muffins are:

• fruity
• tender inside
• crumbly on top
• perfectly sweet aka sweet but not too much
• easy to make
• extra delicious!

Let me show you how to make them!

How to make these peach blueberry muffins from scratch - step by step

Start by preheating your oven to 350F/176C degrees so it's ready to go.

Then, prep the batter. In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: oat flour, almond flour, tapioca flour (or arrowroot if you prefer), baking powder, baking soda, and salt. (step 1)

Add the wet ingredients: three eggs, maple syrup, melted coconut oil and lemon zest. (step 2)

Mix until nice cohesive batter forms. (step 3)

Fold gently in the peaches and blueberries. I prefer to use a spoon rather than a whisk for that. (step 4)

Set aside while you prepare the streusel topping.

In a small bowl, combine the quick oats, coconut sugar, walnuts, and salt (steps 5 and 6). 

Add melted coconut oil, and mix with your fingers to combine until a crumble-like mixture forms (step  7)

Spoon the batter in a muffin tin lined with muffin liners. I like to use an ice-cream scoop for easier spooning! (step 8).

Shake the pan a bit so that the batter is evenly distributed.

Sprinkle generously with streusel topping (step 9).

It's now ready to go in the oven! Bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Let them cool completely before devouring!

You're now equipped to eat these muffins on repeat for breakfast, snack, lunch and dinner 😉

Are muffins healthy for breakfast?

It's a question I come across a lot and the answer is: yes and no.

First, it really depends what kind of muffins we're talking about: homemade or store-bought.

If it's a healthy breakfast you're after, stay away from bakery, coffee shop and supermarket muffins (Starbucks muffins, I'm looking at you!). I know they are tempting but they usually have way too much sugar to make them a healthy option. They really are a treat.

If you want to have muffins for breakfast because it's quick and convenient, make your own! That way, you can control the amount of sugar and know exactly what goes in it. Make a big batch once a week or twice a month, freeze them and you just need to pop one in the microwave when you need it.

Ideally, a well balanced and nutritious breakfast needs proteins, too. Unfortunately, muffins are poor in protein – this one has 5 grams per serving but most will have even less – so if you can, try adding more proteins to your plate. Think eggs or Greek yogurt if you eat dairy for instance.

How to store and freeze muffins

Store these peach blueberry muffins (and muffins in general!) in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for about three days.

Unless they have a perishable item in them like cheese or cream cheese, don't store them in the fridge, as it will dry them out.

You can freeze muffins for up to 1 month. Simply reheat them in the microwave for 30 seconds to one minute when ready to eat.

A few more tips!

• You can use fresh or frozen blueberries. If using frozen, simply rinse them in warm water and dry them, then proceed as written.
• You can use other fruits! Think your favorite berries like strawberry and raspberry, or other juicy fruits like mango.
• Make sure to use fresh baking powder as it loses its raising power and effectiveness after a year.
