INGREDIENTS

Made with

Peaches Sliced in Clear Fruit Juice

Grown under the sun in Hawke's Bay orchards and hand-picked, only the finest golden peaches are good enough to be chosen by Wattie's.

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180°C (fan bake). Grease a 12 hole muffin pan. Drain (discarding the juice) and mash or finely chop Wattie's Peach Slices. Mix ¼ cup of the chopped peaches with the cream cheese and set aside

Step 2

Sift flour, baking powder and baking soda into a mixing bowl. Stir in sugar.

Step 3

Whisk together milk, eggs, lemon zest and remaining mashed peaches. Pour into dry ingredients with the melted butter. Carefully fold ingredients together until just mixed.

Step 4

Spoon a tablespoon of the batter into each of the prepared muffin tins. Place a teaspoon of the peaches and cream cheese filling on the batter. Top with the rest of the batter until tins are three quarters full.

Step 5

Sprinkle the 2 teaspoons of caster sugar on top of all the muffins.

Step 6

Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and muffins spring back when pressed. Leave in the tins for 5 minutes before transferring to a cake rack to cool.

Tips

Swap It Out

Switch out the Wattie-s Peaches for your favourite Wattie-s canned fruit like pears and add ½ tsp Gregg-s Ground Ginger to the dry ingredients and omit the lemon zest.
