    These blueberry peach muffins are so delicious and easy to make, and with the fruit and flax they have a healthy component too!First Published September 2008; Updated July 2020

    Blueberry Peach Muffins Backstory

    Today I present you with a healthy muffin recipe. I promise you will not miss the globs of butter in this one. It is filled with wholesome ingredients such as low fat yogurt, whole wheat flour, flax seed and fruit. And it's has my favorite NJ summer fruits. Peaches and blueberries are a great combination. Since they are healthy, I am giving you permission to eat more than one for breakfast. Sound good?
     
    That is one of my problems. I will eat six muffins but expect to stay thin because they were healthy muffins. I think that only works with celery. Somewhere along the line someone told me that if you keep eating celery, you will lose weight. Lots and lots of celery. The more the better. Don't put any peanut butter or cream cheese on it. Why? Because it burns more calories to chew and digest than there is in the vegetable. Does anyone know if this is true?  If it is, I'm hoping it goes the same with these Blueberry Peach Muffins.
     
    Getting back to these blueberry peach muffins, they taste so good, you won't even know they are nutritious. I love having some for a quick breakfast. When I made these, they didn't bake up very high. I was a little concerned until I took the first bite. They are moist dense muffins that remind me of a comforting quick bread. They also store well in the freezer.
     

    Blueberry Peach Muffins FAQ

    How do I choose the best peaches?

    • When possible, try to buy peaches that are local. This will ensure that they haven't undergone as much travel and are less likely to be bruised.
    • Though a particularly aromatic peach can be a sign of ripeness, the color is also important. Your peach should be vibrant and beautiful (some less pigmented spots are normal and may just be the result of leaves blocking out the sun from that particular spot).
    • Squeeze the peach near the steam; riper peaches will be juicy and have a bit of give. Depending on how soon you're going to use the peaches, you may want to go for something a bit firmer as it will last longer.
    • Peaches should be stored stem side down at room temperature for optimal shelf life.

    How do I choose the best blueberries?

    • Look for berries that are firm and dry, plump, and smooth. A silvery bloom over the surface is normal, but there shouldn't be any stems or leaves.
    • Size won't indicate ripeness, so look for color; the berries should be dark purple, blue, or black.
    • Avoid berries that are soft or look shriveled or wrinkled.
    • Store them in the refrigerator, wash before using, and they should last up to 10 days!

    How do I store these muffins?

    • Ensure that your blueberry peach muffins have cooled completely before you store them to avoid condensation inside your container.
    • Place the muffins in a single layer in an airtight container. Line the bottom of the container with a paper towel to wick any excess moisture, and place one on top of the muffins as well. This will ensure that their flavor and freshness is extended as long as possible.
    • To store in the freezer, do the same process (though the paper towels won't be necessary). To that, allow them to come to room temperature and then stick them in a warm oven for a couple of minutes. Muffins will last up to 3 months in the freezer.

    Recipe Variations

    • These blueberry peach muffins would be delicious with any other kinds of fruit. Raspberries, blackberries, cherries, strawberries, and even raisins would make great additions or substitutions.
    • One of the ways this recipe remains on the healthier side is the white whole wheat flour, but regular white flour could be used instead if you're not as concerned about that aspect!
    • Likewise, if you don't want to use flaxseed, you can use three or four eggs instead.
    • For an extra burst of flavor, fold some citrus peel shavings into the batter before baking.

      I don't know about the celery thing. I do remember that Tracy Gold movie where she had anorexia, and all she ate was lettuce.

      I'm the same way Lisa, do healthy stuff and then eat and eat because they're healthy, lol! Sad...
      The muffins sound very good, so peachy! I would love them for sure!
      About the celery, I have a book that explains it. It's called the negativ calories theory, some things like celary, lettuce etc have so few calories that your body actually spends more calories digesting them than the ones they have. I don't know if it's true, but I'm pretty sure that if I only ate lettuce and celery I would be thin, lol!

      thank goodness there is only a 1/4 cup of flax in there. If they had more flax and you ate six of them, you would still stay thin!! 🙂 These muffins look lovely. I will have to figure out a substitution for the peaches if I make them. Phil hates cooked peaches. Do you think that plums would work in your recipe?

      Nice muffins, Lisa. I looked at the ingredients and they are very healthy, but more importantly, they look delicious to the max 🙂

      Cookie pretty much hit the nail on the head. Ever notice how "ropey" and stringy celery is? That's all fiber. Because it's mostly fiber and water, it doesn't really have any carbs to count as calories. Fiber isn't digested, and water is water.

      So yup you guys are right. The same goes for just about any green vegetable. You won't gain weight on veggies... besides like potatoes.

      I love the flax seed in the muffins. I think if I up the fibre in my diet it makes up for all my other bad habits. Ha!

      Celery is a diuretic too, isn't it?

      I like this. I have a basket of peaches in my fridge to use up. Although I wonder if I left the peaches in larger chunks if it would throw off the balance of the recipe. I seem to have a knack with screwing up recipes.
