Brown Sugar and Peach Muffins

So it's Martin Luther King Jr. Day and me and the monkey have the day off together, so what better to do than make some muffins!  So we put on our slippers and "baking hats" and went to work

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups flour(spelt or all purpose wheat)
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup soymilk(recipe said to add 2tbs more for all purpose flour, but I ended up adding in about 1/4 cup more)
1 tbs lemon juice
1/3 cup oil(i used canola)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 cup chopped peaches(always welcome to use more depending on how much peach you want in there....i recommend more!)

You will also need a little more chopped peaches and some brown sugar(for sanding) for the top of the muffins before baking.

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 400
2. Line pan (this is a good step for little monkeys to do for you)
3. Mix the dry ingredients together
4. Whisk wet ingredients together in a separate bowl until incorporated and thickened...OH MY  Look who showed up to help us with this step
5. Add wet ingredients to dry and gently fold until the flour is moistened and there are no dry spots
6. Gently fold in the chopped peaches
7. Fill Muffin cups 3/4 of the way full....oh goodness..ANOTHER celebrity helper

8. Add the extra chopped peaches and sprinkle the brown sugar on top before baking....well my my....yet ANOTHER celebrity in my kitchen!
9. Bake for 18-22 minutes(remember to use check often if you don't have an oven thermometer)
10. Take the muffins out when they are done, or in my case, have someone else do it for you

Let the muffins cool and then enjoy!  A big thank you to my little monkey for helping and to Iron Man, Georges St Pierre, Batman, and Bumblebee for all of their help!
