When the autumn breeze makes weekend morning chilly and bright, I love to put out a wide assortment of warm muffins with coffee, tea and juice and give myself a few hours to nibble and enjoy the splendid colors of the turning leaves. It's also a great excuse to enjoy a wide variety of fruit in all of those muffins.
This month's recipe uses peaches. I love the ones that we get from Idaho in September. I'll eat as many as I can manage while they're fresh, but I also make these muffins and squirrel away a few in the freezer as well. They are a great way to start a morning.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly spray 24 paper-lined muffins cups with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a bowl, beat the eggs; add the sour cream and oil. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture just until moistened. Carefully stir in the peaches.
Fill the prepared muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan to a wire rack.
Yields: 24 muffins
Preparation Time: 40 minutes
