Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • Peaches: 4 medium ripe peaches (about 4 cups sliced) or 4 cups frozen peach slices
  • Lemon juice: 1 tablespoon to brighten the fruit
  • Maple syrup or honey: 3–4 tablespoons, to taste
  • Cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
  • Cornstarch or arrowroot: 1 tablespoon, for a lightly thickened filling
  • Old-fashioned rolled oats: 1 cup
  • Almond flour: 3/4 cup (or use oat flour for nut-free)
  • Vanilla or unflavored whey/plant protein powder: 1/2 cup
  • Baking powder: 1 teaspoon
  • Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
  • Greek yogurt (2% or nonfat): 1 cup
  • Egg: 1 large (optional but helps bind and lift)
  • Unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice): 1/3–1/2 cup, as needed
  • Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
  • Melted coconut oil or light butter: 2 tablespoons (optional, for richer topping)
  • Pinch of nutmeg: Optional, for warmth

Instructions
 

  • Prep the pan: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with parchment liners.
  • Make the peach filling: In a bowl, combine sliced peaches, lemon juice, 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Stir to coat. Set aside to let the juices start to release.
  • Mix the dry topping: In a separate bowl, add oats, almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg if using. Stir well to break up any clumps.
  • Add the wet ingredients: Whisk yogurt, egg, vanilla, remaining maple syrup (1–2 tablespoons), and melted coconut oil if using. Fold into the dry mix. Add milk a little at a time until the batter is thick but scoopable—like muffin batter.
  • Assemble: Divide the peach mixture evenly among the muffin cups, about 1/4 cup per cup. Spoon the topping over each, gently spreading to mostly cover the fruit. It’s okay if some peaches peek through.
  • Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the tops are set and lightly golden and the peach juices bubble at the edges.
  • Cool: Let the cups rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack. They firm up as they cool.
  • Serve: Enjoy warm as-is or with a spoonful of yogurt. For dessert vibes, add a small scoop of vanilla Greek yogurt or a drizzle of warm milk.
