Dairy-Free Peach Chocolate Chip Muffins
Since we are expecting to meet Hazel in a few weeks, I’ve been looking for some quick snack/breakfast options I could just grab and go in the mornings while driving the kids to day care, or in the wee hours of the morning when I’m starving… easy snacks just work, and it also helps curbing the ever oh-so-easy grab for the junk food (because who doesn’t love fuzzy peaches at 7am). I found this basic muffin recipe, and made it as is… they were moist, fluffy, made about a dozen good sized muffins, and had absolutely no taste what so ever. I would say it was a 50% flop, because there were some good qualities to the muffins, but lack of taste? I can’t get over that. So I decided to adapt, change it, and make this into a delicious breakfast for everyone to enjoy (not just myself).
These Dairy-Free Peach Chocolate Chip Muffins came together when I was in the grocery store last week trying to decide on some fruit to pick up… and these days I love love love peaches and grapefruits. I’m also craving chocolate for some reason, and found a bag of dairy-free chocolate chips. So that pretty much made my mind up, and these little beauties were developed. I love that this recipe only makes 12… that means you are stuck with 24 of the same flavoured muffin, and everything comes together in about 10-15 minutes – you don’t even use the mixer!
The Ingredients:
- 2 cups Flour
- 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tbsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 6 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 2/3 cup Water
- 2 Eggs
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 3 Peaches, diced
- 1/2 cup Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips (the brand I used in this recipe is Enjoy Life)
The How-To:
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- Grease your muffin tin, or use muffin liners.
- In a large bowl mix the flour, sugar, baking powder & salt together.
- In a medium bowl mix the vegetable oil, water, eggs & vanilla together.
- Make a well in the flour, and pour the wet ingredients in. Stir until everything is mixed well, but do not beat.
- Add the peaches and chocolate chips, stir until combined.
- Spoon into muffin liners. Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes, until the tops are lightly golden brown.
- When finished let sit 5 minutes before eating… or let cool completely on a wire wrack.
Done and done! So easy my kids can help, and there’s no mixer or ‘kitchen machinery’ involved which sometimes I think is a bonus. I eat these for breakfast, or snacks… I take them to work with me when I’m starving, and it’s nice to have a stash of grab-n-go food laying around that I made. I know what’s in it, I know it’s not packed with tons of sugar, and I still get my ‘chocolate fix’ without the milk implications. I loved the simplicity of the recipe, and have future plans of new flavours to test out on Clint & the kids!
Make sure you take a moment and share what you are reading this summer… I’m putting together a summer reading list and could feature YOUR PICK! Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoy making these little muffins for your family. They really are an easy way to make morning breakfasts or snacks a pinch!!
Cheers xo
I love the crazy-inspired, healthy recipes that people come up with! Wish I was this creative 🙂
What a unique combination – I don’t think I’ve ever tried chocolate and peaches together!
Surprisingly delicious… I can see lots of recipes coming out based on those two ingredients!! 🙂
I love fruit pairings with chocolate (like berries and oranges), but I’ve never had peaches – I’m so intrigued! I bet it’s delicious! Your muffins look wonderful.
What delicious looking muffins! I have friends who are dairy free, this looks like a great dish for sharing with them! I also really love you using peach in them, I have a huge basketful in the kitchen right now.
I love everything peaches right now! These peach chocolate chip muffins look amazing and so delicious! I can have a bite right now. 🙂 and i love that they are dairy-free.
I thick the best part is that you wouldn’t even notice they are dairy free… which is a bonus in our house… i don’t want there always to be a separation between what each of us can eat.
I don’t have too many dietary restrictions, but I always like finding recipes that accommodate other people’s restrictions. I love that yours doesn’t use dairy. When I make this recipe, I’ll use milk most likely instead of water, just because I like the taste and texture it provides in batter. But I really appreciate that the recipe was developed and tested with some restrictions in mind.
Wow, these muffins look amazing. I love the idea of no machinery involved, which means no extra cleaning and yup kids can help. Btw, Hazel is a really sweet name. 🙂
Thanks!! We chose Hazel since it’s my husbands grandmothers name, and it just works.
Wonderful and deilcious recipe.
I just ate a nice juicy peach–they never make it into recipes here even though we all love peach cobbler! I would never have thought of pairing them with chocolate.
These muffins look yummy! Saving this recipe to try later!
Wow. These look great. I wonder if they could be made egg free? (allergy). Do you think they would hold together with applesauce or pumpkin? I bet these are really yummy!
I’m not sure… They may become a little more dense… If you aren’t allergic to milk then maybe swap out the water for milk and sub the applesauce in for eggs? 🙂
Gosh these muffins look tasty! I love peach muffins so the addition of chocolate has got to be a winner. Thank you so much for this recipe!
These look absolutely amazing! My daughter and mother both love peaches, so I’ll have to give these muffins a try. YUM!
I love peaches and you can never go wrong with muffins. Will have to try these out!
These are yummy looking and I love your combo. I also love that they are diary free. I glad to have found another use for peaches so I am pinning this for later.
Beautiful muffins! They looks SO delicious!!
Oh my goodness, Katie, you have stolen my heart. I would have never thought to put peaches and chocolate chips together in a muffin! I really cannot wait to try this! Thank you so much for sharing at Inspiration Thursday! I’d love to see more next week!
Fresh peaches are about the best thing ever, and I love muffins for a quick snack for my kids. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
I am always looking for ways to incorporate fresh peaches this time of year. These look great!!
Those look crazily delicious. Can I have some now? 🙂
Thanks a lot! 🙂
I love the bits of fresh peaches scattered throughout the muffins. What an intriguing combination, peaches and chocolate. I’ll bet it’s delicious!
I have to say it turned out just as I hoped! We ate them all in 3 days LOL
These look so yummy. Nothing better than muffins in the morning. Especially peach ones.
