Peach Muffins

Applesauce is a GREAT substitute for butter or oil when you are baking!  You will cut down tremendously on the calories and fat.  This morning I made wonderful peach muffins that my sister gave me the recipe for and substituted applesauce for the melted butter or oil that it called for and couldn't tell the difference at all!  I just buy the natural applesauce, no sugar added.  It's really great!

YUMMY!

Peach Muffins
1 can peaches diced, save juice
2 3/4 c. flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. salt
3/4 c sugar
2 eggs
3/4 c buttermilk (I didn't have this either, so I used regular milk with about 3/4 t vinegar.  Worked fine!)
6 T oil, or 1/3 c butter (substitute applesauce if you want)
3 T peach juice

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Drain the peaches (saving a little juice) and dice into small pieces.
Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a bowl.Lightly beat eggs in another bowl and add buttermilk, oil (or applesauce), and peach juice.  Mix well.
Add this egg mixture and peaches to the dry ingredients.  Stir just until combined.
Spray paper muffin cups with non-stick spray (helps them come out really really easy) and bake for 25 minutes.  Makes 12-13 large muffins.

Enjoy!!
