This easy Peach Pecan Muffins Recipe that basic ingredients and fresh peaches. If you like muffin tops these are amazing!
One of my favorite things about the months of summer and early fall is the awesome selection of fresh fruit available at farmers markets and local grocery stores. If I had to pick a favorite fruit it would definitely be peaches. There is nothing better than eating a giant, juicy peach! Cobblers and pies are yummy, but I also enjoy making this peach pecan muffins recipe with fresh peaches.
Peach Pecan Muffins Recipe Tips
- Even though fresh peaches are wonderful, the fact remains that for a good part of the year, they aren’t in season. These peach pecan muffins can definitely be made with frozen, or even canned, peaches. Just make sure to drain the peaches well before adding them to the batter.
- This peach pecan muffins recipe could also be made into quick bread. Adjust the baking time and test for doneness in the middle before removing from the oven.
- To freeze, just place the muffins or loaves in a Ziploc freezer bag.
I love the pecan streusel that goes on top of the batter right before these are baked. It uses brown sugar so it has an earthy taste that reminds me a little bit of molasses. If you are a fan of muffin tops, these are amazing. I shared these peach pecan muffins with my parents and my Dad gave them an enthusiastic thumbs-up!

Hi Ann,
I always had trouble with my peaches being ripe enough to eat. So for years I just ate canned ones. This year I looked online to see what information they had. I was lucky enough to find it. Don’t know why I waited so long for the information. hard peaches, put them in a brown bag and check daily to see if they are ready. if you want to speed up the process they suggested putting a banana in wit it. I just used the peaches in the brown g. Worked perfectly I am happy to say. I hope to make this recipe when my mom comes to visit.
Thanks so much for sharing. I adore peaches and pecans are my faves.

Oh, thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I make mostly blueberry muffins this time of year – banana if my fruit gets soft – but this peach will be a treat to try. I love to make muffins, have them in the freezer, then gift to neighbors, workmen, etc. – just a little treat. Can’t wait to try these!
Can’t wait to try this recipe! Delish :)
They sound and look yummy Ann!
I am with you about peaches ! My favorite summer fruit. I will go into withdrawal soon when they and corn and the cob are gone as I think I eat some of each every day in August! :)
Ann they look and sound YUMMY!
Your photos are awesome!
They look amazing Ann! We love peaches, one of the best things about summertime, fresh peaches!
Blessings,

Ann, these look delicious! Can’t wait to make them! Did you know that South Carolina produces more peaches than Georgia? I made something yesterday with peaches, and I’ll put a post up soon because it turned out to be a winner!
Wow! Those look incredible. Great recipe. We have such a short peach season here. I try to buy them when I can because they are so good fresh. The funny thing is that I don’t like the canned ones but I LOVE fresh ones- xo Diana
