“Chocolate's okay, but I prefer a really intense fruit taste. You know when a peach is absolutely perfect... it's sublime. I'd like to capture that and then use it in a dessert.”

Pecan Peach Muffins recipe from Dr. Gourmet

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg, separated
  • 2 tsp canola oil
  • 8 ounces frozen peaches (thawed and mashed)
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Z-Sweet stevia
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 Tbsp wheat germ
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 2 Tbsp non-fat buttermilk
  • 2 tsp light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Using a whisk, cream together the egg yolk and canola oil. Add the peaches and mash into the mixture until well blended. Add the vanilla extract, Z-Sweet or Splenda, and honey. Blend well.

Sift the all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, wheat germ, salt, baking powder, baking soda and nutmeg in a sifter and sift into the mixing bowl.

Gently fold the creamed mixture together with the flour mixture until smooth. When blended the mixture will still be dry. Whisk the egg white until it is white and foamy (about tripled in volume). Fold in the egg white.

Fold in the buttermilk and when the dough is just blended together, stop.

Line a standard size muffin tin with 6 muffin papers and fill each muffin paper with an equal amount of batter.

Mix together the brown sugar and pecans and then sprinkle over the top of the muffins. Place the muffins in the oven and bake for 20 - 25 minutes.
