Peach Muffins!

So my friends and I like to can fresh fruit in the summertime. Over the summer, my cupboards accumulate beautiful jars of peaches, cherries, apples, blueberries, strawberries, you name it! We make jam, we can the fruit whole, it's great!

I organized my pantry this week, and it made me realize how much fruit I have left to use this year! John and I don't like to eat pies very much, so I've decided to start making a few more recipes that use them.

These Peach Muffins were wonderful, and they are semi-healthy too (wheat flour, oatmeal...)! I love pastries and muffins, so this recipe was right up my alley. :)
