- 1 cup quick cooking oats
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup applesauce
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups pitted and diced fresh peaches
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line them with paper muffin liners.
In a large bowl, mix together the oats, buttermilk, brown sugar, applesauce, molasses and eggs. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda and baking powder. Stir the flour mixture into the eggs mixture, just until moistened. Carefully fold in the peaches. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups.
Bake in a preheated oven for 15 minutes. While the muffins are baking, combine 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. After 15 minutes of baking, remove the muffins from the oven and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar. Return to the oven and continue baking for 3 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
