Coconut Streusel Peach Muffins

It is getting to that time of year

when I go through my pantry

and try to use up anything

that is still there from the past year.

Well, I still seem to have quite a bit of peach jam

so I came up with this recipe

based loosely on an old recipe

that I made way back

when I took Home Economics

in school.

Ingredients

2 cups flour

1/2 cup sugar

1 Tbsp baking powder

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

2 eggs

1/4 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup butter, melted

1/2 cup peach jam

Streusel Topping

1/8 cup shredded coconut

1/8 cup crushed almonds

3 Tbsp flour

3 Tbsp sugar

3 Tbsp butter, softened

1/4 tsp nutmeg

Prepare streusel topping and set aside.

In large bowl mix flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.

In small bowl beat eggs with fork;

add in vanilla, milk and butter.

Add to flour mixture,

stir just until blended.

Fill greased muffin pans 1/3 cup full;

top with jam

(I used a good Tbsp and it helps if you make a small indentation to put the jam in)

Add more batter to fill pans 2/3 full.

Top with streusal topping.

(This topping was like a very thick paste,

I put a tsp on and smoothed the top with the back of the spoon)

Bake in preheated 400F oven until done

approximately 15-20 minutes.

Makes 8 muffins.

These are delicious and I'm glad it only made 8

because I wanted to eat them all :)

They are great to have on hand

for breakfast!
