Peach-Nectarine Muffins

I love peaches and nectarines and can't wait for their season to get here.  Unfortunately (or fortunately) my kids don't seem to share the same love affair I have with them.  Weird kids, I know.  So, last season, I found this recipe to use up some of the hoards of nectarines I had on hand before they spoiled.  I found the recipe on allrecipes.com.  The recipe was good unaltered.  It could be "healthed-up" a bit, however, by using whole wheat flour (or at least half all purpose and half whole wheat) and perhaps trying to use light vanilla or plain yogurt or applesauce in place of the oil. Otherwise, it is super yummy as written, and has been a great treat for everyone here!

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1 large ripe peach - peeled, pitted and diced
• 1 very ripe nectarine, pitted and diced
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 8 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Add vegetable oil, egg and milk; mix well. Fold in diced peach and nectarine. Fill each muffin tin to the top with muffin mix. Sprinkle a little brown sugar onto the top of each uncooked muffin.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes. Check muffins regularly after 15 minutes of baking. Serve warm or cool.
