Dairy-Free Peach Blackberry Muffins (low-gluten with gluten-free option)

Have you taken advantage of peach and nectarine season yet? It’s not too late (in most parts)!

Here’s one way to enjoy the delicious sweetness of peaches combined with the sweet and slightly acidic taste of blackberries: muffins! Perfect for back-to-school snacks or breakfast on-the-go during those rushed weekday mornings.

The peaches can of course be replaced with nectarines, and the blackberries can easily be replaced with raspberries. I’ve also used a mix of multigrain flours that are naturally low in, or free of gluten, but you can certainly use gluten-free flours only (suggestion in recipe below).

These muffins are a nice treat for the whole family, young and olds, and a great way to sneak more fruits in their diet. 🙂

Enjoy!

P.S. Since berries and peaches are part of the Dirty Dozen list, don’t forget to always buy these organic, in order to reduce your pesticide exposure by a lot!
