What makes a muffin light and airy?

The photos are simply gorgeous! These peachy muffins sound soo good and I like that you used those little holders, makes them that much cuter! Peach makes me think of summer and that makes me happy. Therefore these muffins totally make me happy 🙂
I saw this post on the Tuesday Talent Show linky party. I’d love for you to check out a recipe I linked up too, it’s perfect for Pi Day tomorrow- it’s a traditional Polish Apple Pie called Szarlotka but with less sugar than original. Hope you have a great rest of your day, dear! 🙂
Love this recipe! The cups are so cute. Gotta get some.

Was wondering if you could substitute another filling, like cherry or apple? If so, would I have to change any ingredients? TY…
Hi Lynn, I think either of those fillings would be wonderful. I don’t think you would need to change anything. Thank you for visiting Lady Behind The Curtain 🙂
Where do you find muffin cups that look like that?
Hi Victoria, I found mine at The Dollar Tree. You can also get them at Michael’s They REALLY aren’t muffin/cupcake cups they are called party cups or nut cups. Thanks for visiting Lady Behind The Curtain 🙂
Hello I want to make this recipe as a whole cake pie instead of muffins. How long do you suggest I bake it if I double the recipe?
Thank you
Hi Krystal, I don’t know. I would suggest you start by baking it the normal amount of time for a cake. Test the cake with a toothpick, if you need to bake it longer check every 3 to 5 minutes with a toothpick. Sorry I wish I had a better answer! 🙂
these are amazing. Made a nimber of times . Always a hit!
Awww…..Mary I’m so glad you like the recipe!
