Glossy Peach Muffins

Ingredients:

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup packed brown sugar

3/4 cup butter, softened

1 egg, at room temperature

1 cup buttermilk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon lime zest

1 can (15 ounces) peach slices, drained & cut into small cubes

1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut

honey, for gloss

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine flour, soda and salt. In a separate bowl, blend sugar with butter until smooth and light. Whisk in egg, buttermilk, vanilla and lime zest. Pour over dry ingredients. Add peaches and coconut; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened.

Spoon batter into lightly oiled or paper-lined muffin cups, filling 3/4 full. Bake at 350 degrees on center rack for 30-35 minutes or until tops are firm to the touch. Gently lift from pan and cool on a wire rack.

Brush each muffin, while still warm, with a little honey.
