PS Peaches are a great source of fiber and are mostly water by weight which makes them great for weight control/loss. Adding the tummy healing properties of ginger makes these muffins truly delicious and nutritious!


>>>If you can find them, white peaches taste wonderful with ginger. Try a mix in these muffins, 1 white peach and 1 standard peach for a different more delicate flavor.<<<
