Peach and Blueberry Maple Syrup Muffins

Remember my peach and blueberry maple maple walnut pie? Well one of my colleagues is allergic to walnuts so I decided to make the same flavours sans nuts but in muffin form. I made up the recipe myself and they turned out so beautifully that I made a further 2 batches of these. I gave a box to my friend's mum who was in hospital following a surgery as I thought it might cheer her up! I love how the slices of peaches look like rays of sunshine. The muffins were deliciously moist and fruity. You can clearly taste the flavours of peach, blueberry and maple syrup and the wholemeal made it feel healthier. 

I'm sending this to Made with Love Mondays hosted by Javelin Warrior. 

I'm also sneaking this into Treat Petite hosted by Stuart from Cakeyboi and Kat from the Baking Explorer.  The theme this month is 'Spring into Easter' which can be traditional Easter bakes or anything spring like including spring colours. To me these look quite spring like, it's lovely and fresh so I hope that it qualifies. 

The Biscuit Barrel Challenge hosted by Laura from I'd Much Rather Bake Than... has the theme of 'fun' this month. Well that's a great open theme and as these were fun to make and certainly fun to eat, I hope that they qualify too.
