Aunt Rocky’s Low Carb Peach Muffins (Gluten-Free)

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Get out a muffin tin and put liners in 6 holes (parchment or silicone liners work best). Set aside.

Put all dry ingredients in large mixing bowl and mix well, eliminating any lumps.

Melt coconut oil in a microwave safe medium mixing bowl (about 40 seconds). Add eggs, preserves, and extracts. Mix well. Add wet ingredients to dry, and and stir until well mixed. Divide evenly into 6 muffin cups/liners. Top with pecans, if using.

Bake 25–30 minutes. Tops should be lightly browned and feel firm when pressed. Turn muffins out on to wire rack to cool.

Once cooled, make the glaze. Mix the glaze ingredients (liquid can be water, heavy cream, non-dairy liquid to your liking). If too thick, add a few drops of liquid at a time to get a runny consistency. If too thin, add a little more Confectioners Swerve. Use a small spoon to drizzle glaze over tops of muffins. Leave on counter to set, or refrigerate for a few minutes to set the glaze faster.

Notes:
1. These muffins are tastiest served warm.
2. I use Lifesource oat fiber to assure a gluten free product. Oat fiber adds a “bready” or “caky” texture to low carb baked goods. It is not the grain from the oats, just the fiber. If you choose to omit it, the recipe will work, but the texture will not be as nice.
